ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Noah

Noah is a very famous story in the Bible. The story tells us that God told Noah to build a big boat (called an ark) because he was going to send a big flood to the whole world. Noah and his family built the ark and filled it with two of every kind of animal from all over the world. God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights and the flood covered the whole world, but the ark kept Noah and his family safe from the water. After the flood was over, Noah and the animals were able to leave the ark and start a new life. This story teaches us that God is merciful and helps us through difficult times.
