![]() ![]() And the earth trembled with their tread, while the sky was dark with flapping wings.ġ1. And from the mountain and the jungle, the hill and the plain, came great and small. THE PROCESSION (_continued_) : The big elephant and the polar bear, the giraffe and the striped tiger, and the woolly bison of the west. And they came from far and near: a great host of beasts and birds and creeping things:ĩ-10. THE PROCESSION : But after much trouble order was established and the mighty procession, once started, filed steadily in. And Noah lost count, and lost patience as well.ĩ-10. For how could the cats and the mice live together in peace, or how could the fox and the geese agree? And the hounds and the hares? And quarrels and dissensions came into the Ark. But they did not leave behind their dislikes and ancient feuds. For now the other beasts and birds, fearing to be left behind, all tried to get in at once, and could not be controlled. And his sons-Shem, Ham, and Japheth-helped him, while he kept count.Ĩ. GOING ON BOARD : And Noah was vexed, and left them, and began to drive his domestic animals on board, hoping to set the others an example. ASSEMBLING THE ANIMALS (_continued_) : And though Noah argued with them, and explained all the terrible possibilities of the case, still they hesitated, and in their different tongues and ways talked it over, and would not be hurried. And they grumbled, and said, “It may be but a shower.”ĥ-6. But they too doubted, and were slow to decide for they feared to enter the dark ship. ASSEMBLING THE ANIMALS : Then Noah went abroad and called together all the animals, by twos, and told them that they must come into the Ark to be saved from the deluge. And he named it the Ark, and painted it with colors for Noah was proud of his work.ĥ-6. Then Noah tarred the inside and the outside, to keep it tight. PAINTING THE ARK : At last, after many days, the ship was finished. And Noah bargained with them, and started afresh for he feared that the rain might come before he was ready.Ĥ. Strikes delayed him, and his workmen clamored for more pay and stoned those who would work. And the ship rose, but troubles arose too: for frequent and grievous LABOR TROUBLES : But Noah knew that he was right, and kept on. And he laid the keel in the pasture fields, among the daisies while the idlers came to look on and laugh at such folly-a ship for a rainy day!ģ. BUILDING THE ARK : Then Noah went his way, and set to work to build him a great ship, to be ready for the day of deluge. He straightway told his neighbors what was to happen, but they refused to believe, and scoffed at him, and said: “Let it rain.”Ģ. Now Noah was warned that a great flood was to come, which would pour down from the clouds and drown the whole earth. ![]() THE WARNING : In the early days of the world lived the patriarch Noah, a good and venerable man whose years already numbered six hundred.
