The Story of Noah
Many years passed after Adam and Eve left the garden. People began to forget about God. They began to do bad things. There was only one good man. His name was Noah.
God said, "I am sorry that I made people. I will start all over again." God told Noah to build a big boat called an "ark." God showed Noah exactly how to build it.
When the ark was finished, God told Noah to put animals in it. Noah obeyed God. He put some of every kind of animal into the ark. Then God shut the door. Soon rain began to fall. The raindrops made little puddles, then bigger puddles. The big puddles became streams, then rushing rivers, then sloshing seas. Soon the whole earth was covered with water.
The ark tossed up and down on the waves. But Noah and his family and all the animals were safe and dry inside the ark. Then one day the rain stopped. Noah opened a window in the ark. He saw water everywhere. He sent a dove to fly out and look for land. But the dove came right back. It could not find a place to rest.
The next time Noah sent the dove, it brought back an olive leaf. The water was going down. The next time, the dove did not come back. It was time to leave the ark.
The ark was resting on top of a mountain. Noah and his family and all the animals came out. Noah thanked God for keeping them safe. Then God put a dazzling rainbow in the sky. It was God's promise that water would never again cover the whole earth.
