1 ~ Little Boy Noah

When Noah was a little boy, he had a happy family. One of the reasons his family was so happy is that, when his father, Lamech, told him to do something, he did it. When his father told him not to do something, he did not do it. At least he tried to be like this.

Noah’s great-great-grandfather was Enosh, a very very old man. Enosh was the grandson of Adam and Eve. Noah liked it when old Enosh told him stories about Adam and Eve. He was always sad when he talked about them leaving the Garden of Eden.

Grandfather, Noah would sometimes say, it was just 1 sin and it didn’t hurt anyone. All they did was eat something God told them not to. So, why did God get so mad?

He got mad because they decided to obey Satan and not him. They wandered away from God. He was not only mad, but he was also sad. He did not want to make them leave Eden, Grandfather Enosh would always reply.

Then he would ruffle Noah’s hair and smile. But God promised to send a great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve to earth someday to make Satan go away from people forever and forgive people’s sins forever. He hasn’t come yet, but he will someday.

What does forgive mean, Great Grandfather?

It means to pretend someone never did or said their bad thing.

When little Noah went to school, a lot of the other kids made fun of him sometimes. Can you guess why?

It was because Noah always tried to obey what the teacher said. Most of them thought it was fun to disobey the teacher or play tricks on him.

When his back was turned, they’d throw things at the teacher. When he wasn’t around, someone would sneak a spider onto his sitting bench.

They did not mem-or-ize things like their teacher told them to and just laughed about it. They didn’t like learning to write the alphabet or how to count to 100.

Noah wasn’t like them. So, they made fun of him. Sometimes they beat up on him. Sometimes they tripped him or hid a mouse in the basket he brought his lunch to school in.

Why didn’t they like Noah? Because they didn’t want to be good
