Once Noah’s ark was safely on dry ground God came to Noah and asked him to look up at the sky. As Noah looked up at the sky he saw all the storm clouds disappear and the sun came out. A large rainbow appeared in the sky and God said, "You see, my rainbow in the sky. This is a sign of my promise I have made to you and the animals to never again destroy the earth by flood. This rainbow will remind us of the promise made between each other."

God created the world and all that was in it. He believed that he had done a good job. All this changed when Adam and Eve sinned. God forgave them at first but then the world become more wicked and God decided he was sorry he ever created man. So he decided he was going to destroy earth and everything in it. There was one man God trusted and loved, Noah. So God told Noah of his plan to destroy the earth. God gave Noah instructions to build a boat and place two of every kind of animal on the boat. God said they would have to live upon this boat for 40 days. Just as God had promised Noah, on the 40th day the rain stopped.

God created the heavens and the earth. It took him six days and on the seventh day he rested. It was the fifth day, God said, "Let there be animals upon the earth!" God made lions, tigers, bears, zebras and giraffes. He made monkeys to swing through the trees. He made fish to swim in the ocean. He made pigs to roll in the mud! He made all the animals you know today!
