Noah and the Dinosaurs

There was a man called Noah. He had three sons Japheth, Ham, and Shem. He also had a wife. Noah’s wife was named Dahlia. God in a dream said to Noah one night, "I will destroy the earth with a flood, you must build a big boat called an Ark. Put in the animals of the earth in it, because they are the only set with you that believes in my name.’’

The people in Noah’s day on the earth were very wicked. They were hateful, angry, mean, fierce, practiced witchcraft, and very popular among the different countries. They had gigantic children who were just as evil as they were. Now each of Noah’s sons had wives, and their names were, Rose, Petal, and Jasmine. They were beautiful as how the flowers on earth looked.

Noah told his family the dream that God had given to him about destroying the evil giants and everything on earth that moves and breathes.

And his family said, We must believe in this dream from God.

Meanwhile, Noah and his sons worked daily on the ark. They got the type of timber which God commanded them which was Gopher. Gopher was a type of tree found in the forest. Noah and his sons cut a lot of it. His wife and his sons’ wives always prepared delicious meals for them when they worked. And their wives encouraged them not to give up on making the big boat called an ark which would save them from the great flood. After weeks and weeks, the ark was nearly finished. People were teasing them, and some had even said, You guys are dumb! There isn’t any flood coming because we don’t even know what rain is.

But Noah begged them to listen to his words so that they could be saved from the great flood which was coming for everyone and animal on earth. After thirty weeks the ark was finished. It was huge and wide. It looked as though it could hold the entire world of people and animals. Noah had the task of getting two of every kind of animals in the ark. He brought the lions, dogs, sheep, goats, pigs, and all manner of wild and domesticated animals that were found on the earth. Kangaroos came from Australia and lemurs from Madagascar. There were even panda bears from far away as China. Two by two animals came and everyone in Noah’s city and the country was surprised to have seen them. Noah also spent some of his own money and bought animals from traders and merchants so that they could be on the ark.
