Noah and the Great Flood

Once upon a time, there was a man named Noah. He loved and obeyed God with all his heart. One day, God spoke to Noah and said, 'Build an ark, for I am going to send a great flood to wash away all the evil in the world.' So Noah gathered his family and began building the ark.

Noah built the ark exactly as God had commanded. It was a huge boat made out of wood, with many rooms inside. It took Noah and his family many years to complete the ark. People from the town laughed and made fun of Noah, but he remained faithful to God.

Finally, the day came when the ark was finished. God told Noah to gather two of every kind of animal, one male and one female, and bring them onto the ark. Noah and his family did as God commanded, and animals of every kind entered the ark.

Then, it began to rain. The rain poured down and the water started rising. But Noah and his family were safe inside the ark. They trusted God to protect them. For forty days and forty nights, the rain continued to pour and the flood covered the whole earth.

After many days, the rain finally stopped, and the floodwaters began to go down. Noah sent out a dove to find dry land. The dove returned with an olive leaf in its beak, and Noah knew that the earth was drying up. Finally, the day came when they could leave the ark.

Noah and his family stepped out of the ark and saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It was a sign from God that He would never flood the earth again. Noah and his family thanked God for saving them and promised to always obey Him.

From that day on, Noah and his family started a new life. They spread across the earth and repopulated it, always remembering God's faithfulness. Noah taught his children and grandchildren about God's love and the importance of obedience.
