When God created the world
and everything in it, he made man in his own
image to live here, and take care of
the world. However, humans started doing
evil things and stopped following his
commands. They did not pray
to him and they only cared for
their own comfort. God decided to destroy the earth and
everybody in it. There was only one man
who loved God Noah Noah loved and
worshipped God He believed in God even though nobody
else did. He also taught his family
to love and fear God. One day, God spoke to Noah No music Noah, you are good man. You are righteous and you live a good
life with your family. But the world has become evil and all the people in the
world deserve to die. Noah was shocked at what he
heard, but he remained calm. But God, these are your people.
Have mercy on them. No Noah. The world has to be
destroyed. I will send a great flood that will destroy
the whole of earth. No music It will rain without
end for 40 days. Every living being on
earth will be destroyed. So be it, let your will be done. No music Fear not Noah. I have come to warn
you because you have been a
good man. You and your family
will survive the flood. You are merciful my God. You will have to build an ark for you and your family. What is an ark my lord? An ark is a big wooden boat. You will build this ark to protect
your family from the flood. The ark should be big
enough for your family. You will also be
taking many animals along with you so that
they remain survive too. Background
music playing But God, I have no knowledge
about building arks. How will I do this? Do not worry. I will give you all the
instructions you need. Just follow them and you will be able to build
it without any problem. OK my Lord. I will follow your instructions
and do as you say. You must also talk to the people around you and try
to convince them to mend their ways. Tell them to turn to me, pray to me, and fear me. Tell them to be kind and do good things. Tell them to stop
being selfish and live a good life. I will do as you
say my Lord. No music And as God’s instructions, Noah started to cut
down trees. He made big planks out of
the wood to build his ark. People started noticing
what Noah was doing. They gathered around him as he shaped his planks
and piled them up. They were curious. Background
music playing Noah, what are you doing? Hello friend, I am building an ark. What is an ark? It is a big boat my friend. It will protect me and my
family from the flood. What flood? No music My dear friend, God our creator,
spoke to me…. He said that he is
angry with the people and he is going to destroy all living beings with a flood. My dear Noah, we don’t understand. Where is this flood
coming from? God will send heavy rains. It will rain nonstop
for 40 days and a flood will come and
wipe out everything. You can stop this. God is angry with your
ways. You only have to turn to
him and mend your ways. Pray to him….. ask him for forgiveness
and you will be saved. You can come with
me on my ark. You will be saved
from the flood. Noah, have you gone mad? You do not make
any sense. Why are you doing all this? Stop building this
nonsense ark and look after your family. Sorry my friend, this is my work. God has asked me to
do this. I have to obey him. I will build this ark
as he has told me. The villagers laughed loudly and returned to their homes. No Music By now, Noah had gathered all
the food grains, the seeds, and the animals. He stored the food
grains in the ark. No music God then made the animals
arrive in pairs! Every animal and
bird on the earth waited in line patiently, to enter the ark. There were lions, tigers,
elephants, snakes, parrot, zebras,
everyone!. Two by two they entered the ark. Then Noah called
to the villagers and once again invited
them to enter his ark. The people still refused
to believe in him.. They could not
understand why he was collecting animals and
placing them in the ark. They continued to sin against God and they refused to enter No music You said it would rain
for 40 days Noah….. I do not see even a
drip of rain anywhere. Do you still think you
are making any sense? Do you really think
that this God is going to
save you? You have been making
a fool of yourself and trying to make us
all fools as well. No music I believe in my Lord. He will never
abandon me. No Music He has always guided me
to do what is right. I am still inviting you
to join me in the ark. You will be saved. Background
music playing We are not coming into
your stupid ark!! You do as you please. Just leave us alone now! No music Once Noah had completed filling up his ark
with the animals, God told Noah to
assemble his family bring them into the ark. Once they had entered the ark, the door was closed and
the ark was sealed shut. No music As soon as the ark
was sealed, the first drops of rain
began to fall on earth. The villagers were amazed as there had not been any
rains for a very long time. Soon, it was raining heavily and a big thunder clouds gathered all around
the village. It continued to rain
for days and soon the water was
flooding the village. The ark, then began to
float over the water. People in the village
were running for shelter as their homes had been
swept away by the flood. Meanwhile Noah, his family, and the animals he had
brought with him, were safe and warm in the ark. It rained heavily for 40
days, and in the end, there was
nothing but water all around. All living beings were
drowned and even the highest mountains were
covered by the flood. Noah looked out of the
window of his ark and could see nothing
but water all around. After 40 days and
40 nights of rain, it stopped raining. The water level slowly
started coming down. No Music The ark continued to sail with Noah’s family and the animals. They kept sailing in
search of dry land. background
music playing After many days,
Noah sent a dove out in search of dry land. Background
music playing The dove returned
as it could not find any place to make a nest. The water still covered
every patch of dry land. background
music playing Noah waited for one week and then sent the
dove out again. No music This time, the dove returned
with an olive branch. This meant that the water
levels had come down Noah waited for one
more week and this time, when
he sent the dove out, it did not return. background
music playing This was a sign that
the water had come down and there was dry land. background

top of a dry mountain. Then God spoke to Noah. Noah, it is now safe for you and
your family to leave the ark. You can step out to the land You can now lead a new
life with your family. Release all the animals. Let them once again
roam the earth Thank you my Lord. I am thankful for your
love and faith in me. You have kept me safe
through all this. My family is alive and
well because of you. We owe our lives to you. You are a righteous
man Noah. Your faith in me has
saved you. Your family has been saved
because of your good deeds. I promise that I will never
again send the floods No music background

promise, God created a beautiful

grandchildren were spread all over the world. background
