Noah and the Ark

People on earth had forgotten God and grown very wicked. But Noah was a good and righteous man. God told him to build a huge ark — a giant boat. Noah obeyed, even when his neighbors laughed. Two of every kind of animal came aboard, and then the rains came for forty days and nights. When the waters dried up, Noah stepped out into a new world, and God set a rainbow in the sky to promise He would never flood the earth again.
