Written by Dorothy Smith Illustrated by Kevin Spear The Story: God said to Noah, "Build a boat, I'll show you how so it will float." Noah obeyed. He hammered and sawed. The boat grew tall; the boat grew broad Now, Noah's boat is almost done. The neighbor's laughed and said in fun . . . "It will not rain, and it won't pour; Whatever will you use it for? "There'll be a flood," good Noah replied. "00God's people will be safe inside." God said, "Noah, go and find animals of every kind." First came the two elephants with floppy ears and swaying trunks. Then came friendly little dogs, flying ducks and hopping frogs. Tall, proud roosters came in too, crowing, "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" Happy clucking mother hens, billy goats and singing wrens. Soon Noah's animals were safe inside. "Now, get your family in," God cried. Noah obeyed, and God shut the door. Soon it rained, then rained some more. Water covered the land and mountains high, but Noah's crew was safe and dry. Noah gave thanks to God above for saving his family from the flood. And when the land again was dry, God put a rainbow in the sky. God promised Noah He'd never send another flood like that again! The waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
