God: Noah, you must build a big boat. It has to be the biggest ark! I am going to destroy the earth with a big flood! Tell
people to repent from their sins.
Noah: Yes, my Lord!
Noah told the people what God said.
Noah: My dearest people, you must repent because it is going to be a big flood. Please you mustn’t sin anymore!
People: You are crazy!
Now, that Noah built the ark, God said: You must bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to
keep them alive with you.
Son: Wow, look. The giraffes are taller than the hippos. And the turtles are slower than the rabbits.
Noah: Yes, and the elephants are the fattest.
Noah did everything God commanded.
Noah: God said that it is going to rain for forty days and forty nights. We are safe here.
After the rain, Noah opened a window and sent a dove to check if the earth was dry.
Noah: Look
Noah: The dove has a leaf…
Noah and his family came out of the ark and built an altar to thank God for his protection.
