The world had become a very dark place. People had turned away from God, and the earth was filled with violence. But one man still walked with God — Noah. God told Noah: “Build a huge boat. I will send a flood, but you and your family will be safe.” So Noah obeyed. While he worked, people laughed at him. “Why are you building a giant boat on dry land?” they mocked. But Noah kept listening to God, not the crowd.

Finally, the ark was finished. Animals came two by two — lions and lizards, elephants and eagles, hopping, crawling, and flying inside. Then the rain poured down for forty days and nights. Water covered the earth, but Noah, his family, and the animals were safe inside the ark. When the flood was over, God placed a rainbow in the sky — a sign of His promise never to flood the whole earth again.
