God created the earth and it was beautiful. All of
God's creation sang His praises... all except man.
God saw that man was selfish and evil.

#002
There was only one man on earth who was holy and
righteous. His name was Noah. Noah had three sons:
Shem, Ham and Japeth.

#003
One day God said to Noah, "I am going to destroy the
earth with a flood, and I want you to build a large ark."
God gave Noah specific instructions for the ark.

#004
Noah and his sons worked for years building the ark.
Wicked people from all over came to make fun of
Noah. Everyone thought he was crazy.

#005
God told Noah to make the ark large enough to hold
two of every kind of animal on earth. When the ark
was finished, God sent all the animals.

#006
God said to Noah, "Take your family and get on the
ark. The time has come to send the flood." After Noah
and his family boarded, it began to rain.

#007
It rained and rained and rained. It rained for forty
days and forty nights. It rained until the entire earth
was covered with water.

#008
The rain finally stopped. Noah and his family waited
for days to see land, but there was none in sight. Noah
sent a dove to search for land.

#009
The dove returned that night holding an olive branch.
Noah was so happy. "Land! You've found land!"  Noah
shouted. Soon they would return to dry land.

#010
Noah thanked God for sparing his family from the flood.
Then God made a rainbow and said, "This is a promise.
I will never again destroy the earth with water."
