"We didn't know where we were at,
One wide river,
Until we bumped on Ararat,
One wide river to cross."
As if in obedience to the words of the song the Ark grounded, the sun came out from the clouds, and every one knew the voyage was at an end, for
"The Ark she landed high and dry,

And the monkey kissed the cow good-by,
One wide river to cross."
In a few minutes the gang-plank was lowered and the animals landed. Captain Noah was the last to leave.
"Well," he exclaimed, "we have passed through an awful lot. But we're safe on land again." "Hurrah!" shouted all the animals, "we're safe at last!"
