Many years later, people were being mean and doing bad things. That made God very sad.
But one man, Noah, loved God. God told Noah, "Build a giant boat called an ark."
Noah worked and worked. People probably laughed, because there was no water nearby! But Noah obeyed. Then two of every kind of animal came to the ark.
