The Story of Noah's Ark

Once upon a time, there was a man named Noah. Noah was a very good listener and he loved to follow God's instructions. One day, God spoke to Noah and told him that a great flood was coming to wash away all the bad things in the world. But God also had a plan to save Noah and his family, as well as many animals. God told Noah to build a huge ark out of wood. Noah listened carefully and started building the ark.

As Noah worked hard to build the ark, people around him laughed and made fun of him. They thought he was crazy for listening to God. But Noah ignored them and continued to listen and obey. Finally, the ark was completed, just as God had instructed. It had many rooms and spaces for different kinds of animals.

Then, God told Noah to collect two of every kind of animal and bring them into the ark. Noah listened carefully and followed God's command. He gathered all the animals, big and small, and brought them safely into the ark. Even the animals listened to Noah and went inside without any trouble.

Finally, the day of the great flood arrived. It rained heavily for forty days and forty nights. But Noah and his family were safe inside the ark. They listened to the sound of rain and thunder, feeling grateful for obeying God's words. The flood washed away all the bad things in the world, just as God had said.

After the rain stopped, the sun came out and a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. It was a sign of God's promise to never send such a flood again. Noah and his family were filled with joy and gratitude. They knew that listening to God and following His instructions was always the right thing to do.
