was a very good man. He was not wealthy, but he was honest and he worked hard. (1)
C. He was kind to all people. He believed
in God and he prayed every day. He lived with his wife and his children. One
day, God spoke to Noah. He said, "Noah, I know that you are a good man. (2)
H. Most people on the earth are not askind as you. I am going to create a
large storm. I will destroy all of the bad things on the earth, but I will save
you and your family." Then God said, "Build a large ark, Noah. Take
your family on the ark with you. Also, take two of every animal on the earth.
Bring food and supplies for several months." (3) E Noah started to build the ark.All of
the people in the city said that he was crazy, but Noah ignored them.He
believed what God said to him. Noah finished his ark. He gathered his family
and he gathered two of all of the animals on the earth. (4) A. After the
last animal walked onto the ark, it started to rain. It rained and rained
and rained. All of the people in the city were frightened. They said,
"Noah, help us! Let us on your boat!" (5) G. But Noah could not
help them. It rained for forty days and forty nights. It was the greatest
flood ever. All of the people on the earth died in the flood. Noah and his family
floated on the water. (6) D. They
were safe with the animals on the ark. The rain stopped after forty days. (7)
I. The sun appeared."Noah
wanted to see where land was. He picked a bird from the ark. He said to the
bird, "I see only water around us. Fly away, bird! See if land is anywhere
nearby!" But the bird returned with no sign of land. Noah continued this
every day. (8) E. One day the bird
returned with an olive branch in his mouth. Noah saw the olive branch and
understood that land was near. He said to his wife, "Land is here! We are
safe! God saved us!"
