Once upon a time, there lived a man named Noah. He was a good and righteous man who loved God with all his heart. He lived in a world where people had forgotten about God and did things that weren't pleasing to Him.

One day, God spoke to Noah. He was saddened by the wickedness of the people and decided to send a great flood to cleanse the earth. But God saw Noah's goodness and decided to spare him.

God gave Noah a task. He was to build a huge ark, large enough to carry his family and two of every kind of animal. Noah, although surprised, accepted God's command and started building the ark.

It was a herculean task, but Noah was devoted. He worked day and night, cutting, shaping, and fitting together massive planks of wood. The ark started taking shape, impressing all who saw it.

Soon, the ark was ready. Next, Noah had to gather two of every kind of animal. From tiny ants to gigantic elephants, all were to be saved from the impending flood.

As Noah called, the animals came. They marched into the ark, two by two. It was a sight to behold, a testament to Noah's faith and obedience.

Finally, when all the animals were inside, Noah and his family entered the ark. As they closed the door, the first drops of rain began to fall.

The rain poured down for forty days and forty nights. The water rose, lifting the ark high above the mountains. But Noah, his family, and all the animals were safe inside the ark.

Eventually, the rain stopped. Noah sent out a dove, which returned with an olive leaf, signaling that the land was dry. They waited a little longer, then finally, they opened the door of the ark.

Noah, his family, and the animals stepped out onto dry land. They were overjoyed. Noah thanked God for saving them and made a promise to always serve Him.

Now it's time for us to say our prayer. Dear God, thank you for the story of Noah. Help us to be obedient and faithful like him. May we always seek to do what is right, just like Noah did. Amen.
