**2. Bible Story for Kids — Noah Trusted God (10 minutes)**

Long ago, the world was very noisy.
People were not kind.
People were not listening to God.

But there was one man who was different.
His name was Noah.

Noah loved God.
Noah listened when God spoke.

One quiet day, God talked to Noah.
God said, “Noah, build a big boat called an ark.”

Noah looked around.
There was no rain.
No flood.
No water.

The ark would be very big.
Bigger than Noah’s house.

Noah could have been scared.
People laughed at him.
People pointed.

But Noah chose to trust God.

Every day Noah worked.
Hammer. Hammer. Hammer.

Then animals came.
Two by two.
Big ones. Small ones.

Then the rain began to fall.
Drip. Drop.
The rain came hard.

But inside the ark, everyone was safe.
God closed the door.
God kept His promise.

God took care of Noah.
And God takes care of us too.

(Pause quietly for a few seconds.)
