Noah's Ark

Noah you must build a vessel 300 cubits long, 50 wide, 30 high and it must be strong It must carry a roof three stories high, finished to a cubit upward with entrance on the long. Use only Gopher wood that is smeared both inside and out with pitch Then take your family and every animal that I might destroy this world in which: Evil must be cleansed by a flood of Heavenly destruction Ye shall perish too, if not great care, taken in construction Pay particlar attention to each of my animals aboard For like me, you are their Salvation and I in turn, your Lord Noah, I command you Rise! Go! Collect the tools you will need For there only remains 300 years to completion of this deed Tend to every last animal no matter how large or small For I am the Lord, thy God who created and love them all.

This is a lively and well written story of Noah's Ark, but if it is for the contest did you notice he asked you to talk about one pair of those animals? That is why I talked aout the elephants. Good luck. Love, Joyce
