boat was safe and dry.
After forty days Noah opened a window
and sent out a raven. It did not come back. After another few days Noah
then sent out a dove to see if the water had gone down. The dove came back
with a fresh olive branch in its beak. Noah knew that the water had gone
down. Noah gave thanks to God. God made a rainbow in the sky as a promise
to us that he would not flood all the earth again.
