In the days of a land filled with people who didn’t listen to God, there was a man named Noah. Noah was a good man who loved God very much. One day, God spoke to Noah and shared a very important message: a great flood was coming to wash away all the bad things in the world. God told Noah to build a big boat called an ark. This ark would keep Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal safe from the flood. Noah listened to God and got to work. He used wood, nails, and all his hard work to build the enormous ark.
After many years of hard work, Noah finally finished building the ark! Noah gathered his family, his wife, his three sons, and their wives, and then he began to bring the animals into the ark. The animals all came in pairs, just as God had instructed.
Then, one day, the rain began to fall. It poured, and soon the rivers and lakes overflowed, causing a great flood. But Noah and the animals were safe inside the ark. They floated on the water for many days, watching as the rain continued to pour.
After a while, the rain stopped, and the waters began to go down. One day, Noah sent out a dove to see if it could find dry land. When the dove came back with a fresh olive leaf, Noah knew it was time to leave the ark!
Finally, the ark rested on solid ground, and Noah and his family, along with all the animals, stepped out into the world. Noah thanked God for keeping them safe, and God promised never to flood the earth again. As a sign of this promise, God placed a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
And that’s the story of Noah’s Ark! It teaches us about listening to God, being brave, and the importance of caring for all of His creations.
