The Story of Noah’s Ark in Short (Genesis 6–9)
Long ago, the world was full of people who did wrong things. But one man, Noah, loved God and tried to do what was right. God told Noah that a great flood was coming and asked him to build a huge boat called an ark.
Noah and his sons built the ark just as God said. Then God sent the animals, two of every kind, and Noah’s family went inside. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights until water covered the whole earth, but everyone in the ark was safe.
When the rain stopped, Noah sent out a dove. It came back with an olive leaf, which meant dry land was near. At last, everyone stepped out of the ark, and God put a rainbow in the sky as a promise never to flood the whole earth again.
