Jonah

A prophet runs from God's call to preach to Nineveh but learns about mercy when the city repents.

Chapter 4

KJV - Jonah 4:6

And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

Then God created a plant and caused it to grow over Jonah, providing shade for him. This helped Jonah feel better from his sadness. Jonah was very happy about the plant.
