Little Noah and his Magic Ark

By George G George

Noah’s wizard granddad makes him a magic ark. When in this ark he can become whatever animal, bird or insect he wants as long as it is on the wooden blocks in the wall. All he has to do is put it in the ships wheel and spin it. He then travels to where the creature in the picture on the block lives and spends ten minutes there as that creature and the adventure only ends when he hears his granddad’s voice calling him.
“Noah, Noah time to go home now”
Noah has curly ginger hair and blue eyes, which are present when he becomes the picture on the block.
These short stories have an almost limitless supply of adventures for Noah, this could have him becoming so many different things like cars, planes, boats, bikes and so much more.
The stories are a good way for children to learn about different things, it could even be adapted to cover different religions.
The one story in this book is the start of the alphabet and will end with Z. Also the story can be used widely for first learning and after that the sky’s the limit.
I have tested these short stories on some of my 18 grandchildren and changed a few words that they thought were better or they used instead of what I had written. With an age range of 2 to 10-years this is the target market I thought best.

Little Noah

And his Magic Arc

Little Noah lived with his mum and dad on a farm, along with his granddad. Noah’s granddad had a secret that only he and Noah knew, he was really a wizard and could do magic. Today was Noah’s birthday and his granddad had built him his own arc, but this was no normal wooden arc because this one was magic.

Noah went in to his granddad’s workshop because his mum had said he had a present waiting there. He did and it was his magic arc, his granddad smiled and opened the door. Noah stepped inside and his granddad put his head in, he pointed out all the little wooden blocks with pictures of animals, birds and insects on them on the walls.

This is a magic arc Noah, said his granddad.

Why is it magic granddad?

Because when you put any one of those blocks with pictures on in to the ships wheel and turn it, you become that animal, bird or insect for ten minutes, and see how it lives.

Really granddad really?

Yes Noah you want to try?

Yes please, can I granddad?

When it's time to leave I will call saying. Noah, Noah time to go home. Can you remember that? Noah nodded.

ANT

Noah returned the next day to his granddads workshop and sat inside his arc, he looked at the blocks on the wall. Which one should he choose? It took him a minute and then he chose the one with a picture of an ant on it.

He put the block into the ships wheel closed his eyes and turned it and when he opened them he was outside a huge ant hill looking up.

Noah watched as thousands of ants came out of the ant hill and marched off, then a big ant called over to him.

You there, come on let's go, said the big ant.

Go where? Noah asked.

New boy eh? okay just follow me and do what I do. The big ant said.

I’m Noah what’s your name?

Alfie, Alfie the ant.

Where are we going Alfie?

To cut some leaves for our dinner, so hurry because I’m hungry. Noah followed Alfie and was soon carrying a big leaf back to the hill.

Noah followed Alfie inside and was amazed at the size of the hill, when he was a normal boy it looked so small. Noah put his leaf with the rest and went to get some food, he was only half way through his meal when he heard his granddad’s voice.

Noah, Noah time to go home, called his granddad.

He said goodbye to Alfie and left the hill, he closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes he was back in the arc, and his granddad was waiting for him.

You look funny Noah, laughed his granddad

Why is that granddad? his granddad laughed loudly and said, You have a piece of leaf still in your mouth.

How did you like being an ant Noah? Was it fun?" asked his granddad.

It was great granddad, when can I go again? he rubbed Noah’s hair smiling. Soon Noah soon, come on it’s time for your birthday party to start.

BEAR

Noah waited till after school on Monday before he went to the workshop and entered his arc again. He’d been reading about bears at school and wanted to see what it would be like to be a bear. Finding the block with a picture of a bear, he put it into the ships wheel closed his eyes and turned it.

When he opened his eyes he was in a forest by a stream and knew he was a bear but wanted to see what he looked like in the water. His reflection made him chuckle he liked being this bear, just then he heard some splashing downstream.
