Outside the ark, the people live their life the same as before. They still did not believe that flood would come. They laughed more than ever. But they soon stop laughing.
All the sudden water began to fall down from the sky. Noah had been right! but it’s too late now for others to get into the ark. They door had been closed tight by God.
All the low land was covered with water. The water became like big rivers and pushed and rolled around big stones and made a loud noise. All the people were destroyed too. The rain continued to for 40 days and 40 nights until it covers the tallest mountain. It just had happened as God said, all the people and animals outside the ark died but everyone inside was safe.
The water lifted the ark up and it floated right on top of the water. Then one day, after the rain stopped falling, the sun began to shine. There was a big ocean everywhere and only the ark floating on top.
Then God made a wind blow and the flood began to go down. After some time the ark came to rest on top of the mountains. The water kept on going down. Then Noah let the bird called raven out of the ark. It would fly away for a while and then it would come back because it could not find a good place to land.
Next, Noah sent a dove out of the ark but the dove came back too because it did not find a place to stay. Then Noah sent it out for second time and it brought back an olive leaf in it’s beak. So Noah knew that the water had gone down. Noah sent the dove a third time and finally it found a dry place to live.
Then God spoke to Noah. He said: “Go out of the ark. Take your whole family and the animals with you”. Surely Noah and his family must be very happy to come outside and to be alive.
