The Great Flood

 Outside the ark,the people went about their life the same as before.The still did not believe that the flood would come. They must have laughed more than ever. But they soon stopped laughing.


All of a sudden water began to fall. It poured down from the sky as when you pour water from a bucket. Noah had been right! But it was too late now for anybody else to get into the ark. The door had been closed tight by God.



Soon all the low ground was covered. The water became like big river. It pushed over trees and rolled around big stones, and made a lot of noise. The people were afraid. The climbed up to higher ground. Oh, how they wished they had listened to Noah and gotten into the ark when the door was still open for them! But now it was too late.


The water kept getting higher and higher. For 40 days and 40 nights the water poured out of the sky. It rose up the sides of the mountains, and soon even the tallest mountains were covered.

So just as God had said,all the people and animals outside the ark got died. But everyone inside was safe.

Noah and his sons had done a good job building the ark. The water lifted it up, and it floated right on top of the water. Then one day, after the rain stopped falling,the sun began to shine.

What a sight it was! There was just one big ocean everywhere. And the only thing that could be seen was the ark floating on top. The Giants were gone now. No more would they be around to hurt people. All of them had died, along with their mothers and the rest of the bad people.
