Noah's Ark

After Adam and Eve left the garden, many people were born. The people kept doing bad things, and they forgot about God. Except Noah. Noah loved God. God was sad that everyone but Noah forgot about him. He told Noah about his plan to start over. "Make yourself an ark," God said. "Here's how." So Noah and his family began working on the ark. When it was done God said,"Take your family and two of every kind of animal into the ark." Animals creeped, crawled, hopped, and galloped onto Noah's new ark. After everyone was inside, the rain began to fall...and fall...and fall. The ark rocked this way and that way on the rising water. Finally, the rain stopped. Water covered everything! Everyone inside the ark was safe. Noah and his family were very happy. One day, Noah sent a raven to find land. It flew and flew but never found any. So it came back. One week later Noah sent a dove out. It came back with a olive leaf. Noah cheered, "It must have found land!" The ark finally came to rest on a mountain. God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It was a sign of his promise to never flood the earth agian.

The End
