The Tower of Babel

After the flood, everyone spoke the same language. One word meant "hello." One word meant "good-bye." The people said, "If we work together, we can do anything. Let's build a tower that goes all the way up to heaven. Then everyone will see how great we are!" The people worked on the tower. They built it taller and taller. They began to brag. God did not like the way they were acting. It was as if they no longer needed him. So God mixed up their language. When they tried to talk to each other it sounded like babbling. Everyone was confused! Then God scattered the people all over the earth. They had to stop building their tower. From then on the tower was called Babel.

The End
