A long time had passed since God created Earth. Earth was full of bad and wicked people who made God very unhappy. There was one good man named Noah. He was the only person that remembered God's words and always prayed to God.

God

2

Noah, I will destroy all the people on Earth. Not just the people, but also the animals, creeping things, and birds of the heavens. I feel sorry that I have made them, but I will save you and your family.

Noah

3

I understand. What should I do?

God

4

You must build an ark, a big ship. Then, bring your family and two of every kind of animal to the ark.

Noah

5

Every kind of animal?

God

6

Yes. Two of every kind of animal such as cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and so on. Gather enough food to last a long time.

God

7

In seven days, I will send rain which will last forty days and forty nights. There will be a big flood. Every living thing will drown except for those on your ark.

Noah

8

I see. I will start building the ark right away.

Noah

9

In seven days, in seven days...

Noah went back home quickly so that he could tell his family what he had heard from God.

Noah

11

Everyone, come together.

Noah's Son 1

12

Yes, Father. What's the matter?

Noah

13

God called me.

Noah's Son 2

14

Did God call you, Father?

Noah

15

Yes, He did.

Noah's Son 3

16

What did He tell you?

Noah

17

God told me to build an ark and gather two of every animal.

Noah's Son 1

18

Why did God tell you to do so?

Noah

19

God said Earth is full of bad and wicked people... He is planning to make them drown with lasting rain, except for those on the ark we are going to build.

Noah's Wife

20

Are you sure you heard God say that?

Noah

21

Yes. Please help me build the ark and gather two of every kind of animal.

Noah's Son 1 2 3

22

Yes, Father!

23

While Noah and his family were working on building the ark, his neighbors talked to them.

Neighbor 1

24

Hey, Noah, what are you doing?

Noah

25

We are building an ark because we are going to have heavy rain.

Neighbor 2

26

Are we going to have heavy rain? Look at the sky. There are no clouds. We are not going to have rain any time soon. You and your family are crazy! Hahaha!

Neighbor 1

27

Hahaha! Crazy Noah!

Narrator

28

The neighbors thought Noah had gone crazy and laughed at him. But Noah never gave up on building the ark. Finally, Noah finished building the ark.

Noah

29

We have finished building the ark. We have finished collecting food and two of every kind of animal.

Narrator

30

Noah, his family, and the animals went onto the ark. Once they closed the door, it started to rain and began to flood quickly.

Noah's Wife

31

The rain isn't stopping! All the land has flooded!

Noah

32

It is as God said. We will be safe in the ark, so don't worry.

Sheep

33

Baa.

Cow

34

Moo.

Noah

35

The animals will be safe, too. We have enough food for forty days.

Narrator

36

The flood continued for forty days and forty nights as God had told Noah.

Narrator

37

On the 40th day, the rain stopped. Noah, his family, and the animals were still on the ark. A dove came back to him with an olive leaf. Noah received the olive leaf from the dove.

Noah

38

Look! This is an olive leaf! This means Earth is drying out.

Narrator

39

Noah, his family, and the animals began stepping off the ark.

Noah

40

Look at the rainbow!

Noah's Wife

41

It is so beautiful... We survived...

Narrator

42

Noah, his family, and the animals were saved. All the wicked people were gone from Earth. God showed a beautiful rainbow. This was a sign that God had promised not to do this again.
