Jonah the pouty

I believe a lot of people know about Jonah and the whale but I'd never actually read the tiny little short story that's the book of Jonah.

-Oh how I understand him!  Telling God "I told you so" ~ And obviously how ridiculous is he?  And how dramatic.  Sheesh
3:10-4:3  When God saw what they (the Ninevites) did and how they turned from their evil ways (upon Jonah's warning), He had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction He had threatened.  But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.  He prayed to the Lord, "O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still at home?  That is why I was so quick to flee (that's how he got into the belly of the whale) to Tarshish.  I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.  Now, O Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
-Wow.  So Jonah believed in God SO much that didn't want to witness to others lest they not be punished because then he might have egg on his face.  Crazy!
-In this section I kinda love how God provides good things and the Bible uses the same verb that he provides the destructive worm and the scorching east wind.
4:6-11  Then the Lord God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine.  But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered.  When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint.  He wanted to die, and said, "It would be better for me to die than to live."  But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?"
"I do," he said.  "I am angry enough to die."  But the Lord said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow.  It sprang up overnight and died overnight.  But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well.  Should I not be concerned about that great city?"
