Noah's Ark
God saw that all the people on the earth were acting badly, so he decided to send a flood that
would wipe out evil.
However, there was one good man on earth.
His name was Noah and God trusted him. God
decided that he would save Noah by telling him
that the flood was coming. He would instruct
Noah to build a really big boat called an ark.
After Noah had built the ark, God told him to put two of every animal on
the earth in it, both male and female. When Noah, his family and the animals
were all safely on the ark, the rain began to fall. It kept falling for forty days
and nights. The waters flooded the earth. Every living thing on the face of the
earth was wiped out except for Noah, his family and the animals who were
safe in the ark.
When the sun came out, the waters started to dry up and the ark came to rest
on a mountain. Noah sent out a raven to find dry land but it came straight
back. A few days later he sent out a dove. The dove returned with a leaf in its
beak. When the dove was sent out again it did not return.
'The waters must have dried up completely!' exclaimed Noah. So all of the
animals and Noah's family left the ark. God promised that he would never again send another
flood that covered the earth and made a rainbow in the sky to remind everyone of his promise.
