CHAPTER II.
THE GREAT FLOOD; AND A GREAT TOWER.
In the course of time, when there came to be more folks in the world, they grew fond of sin. They did not love God, or try to please him. And God was wroth with them, and said he would send a flood that would drown the world, and there should not be any dry land left for men, beasts, or birds to live on.
But though most of the folks at that time were as bad as they could be, there was one good man in their midst, and his name was No-ah.
THE ARK.
And God loved No-ah and told him what he meant to do. And God bade No-ah build an ark. This was a boat. It was to be made large, with rooms in it, and a great door on its side. And it was to be quite high, and to have a roof on top.
And God told No-ah when the ark was done he and his sons and their wives should go in it.
