    Once upon a time, a kind man named Noah lived on Earth. He was different from all other men because he loved God and always did what was right.

    One day, God spoke to Noah. He was sad because the people on Earth had forgotten about him and were not kind anymore.

    God told Noah about a great flood that would cover the Earth. He asked Noah to build a big boat, an ark, to save his family and the animals.

    Noah, trusting in God, started building the ark. It was a huge task, but Noah was determined and worked every day.

    Soon, animals started coming to the ark. Pairs of every kind, from the smallest insects to the biggest elephants.

    Noah's family also helped him. They took care of the animals and made sure they had everything they needed inside the ark.

    The day came when God told Noah that it was time to enter the ark. Noah, his family, and the animals went inside, and God shut the door.

    Then the rain started. It rained and rained, for forty days and forty nights. The whole Earth was covered with water.

    Noah and his family took care of the animals during the flood, making sure they were safe and well-fed.

    Finally, the rain stopped. But they had to wait for many more days until the water started to go down.

    Noah sent out a dove to see if it could find dry land. But the dove came back, as there was nowhere to land.

    After a week, Noah sent the dove again. This time, it brought back an olive leaf. They knew then that the water was going down.

    When the water finally went down completely, God told Noah to come out of the ark. Noah, his family, and all the animals left the ark.

    Noah thanked God for keeping them safe. He made a big fire and offered a sacrifice to thank God.

    God was pleased with Noah. He made a promise that he would never send a flood to destroy the Earth again.

    As a sign of this promise, God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Every time Noah saw the rainbow, he remembered God's promise.

    Noah and his family started a new life on the Earth. They planted crops, built homes and took care of the animals.

    The animals also started their new life on Earth. They had babies, and soon the Earth was full of life again.

    Noah lived for many more years. He always remembered God's promise and was grateful for the life he had been given.

    And every time a rainbow appeared in the sky, everyone remembered God's promise to Noah. The rainbow was a reminder of God's love and mercy.

    Noah's story teaches us about faith and obedience. Noah trusted God, even when it was hard. And because of his trust, he and his family were saved.

    The story also teaches us about God's love for all creatures. He wanted to save not just people, but all the animals too.

    Noah's story is a reminder that even in difficult times, God is with us. He will guide us and protect us, just like he did with Noah.

    So, the next time you see a rainbow in the sky, remember Noah and his ark. And remember the promise that God made to never flood the Earth again.

    And most importantly, remember that just like Noah, you too can be kind, faithful and trusting in God, no matter what comes your way.
