Cain was the first child and his name means - "He is here". One day, Cain brought treats from the land to God, while Able brought sheep. God liked Able's present. The reason God didn't like Cain's gift was because he chose the first little stuff he found. He didn't really care he just wanted to get the blessing. Cain became upset, so God asked him "Why are you upset, why aren't you looking up?" Cain didn't answer, he was really jealous of Able and couldn't do anything about it. So Cain attacked Able and killed him. God punished Cain, never giving him a place to be. For the rest of Cain's life, he fought the guilt. Able was the first murdered person on the planet.


 * There are really two morals here. The first one is that you need to do everything with care not that's-good-enough-style. The second is that jealousy can take control of you so be strong and be happy for that person **.

 After thousands of years, there were many people on the planet- ancestors of Adam and Eve. But the people didn't want to listen and pray to God anymore. They disrespected Him. There was one person that stayed loyal to God though, his name was Noah. God decided to punish all the people.He was to drown them. So he told Noah to make an Ark and take his wife and kids,with their wives. He also told to take two of each animal, one male, one female so they can reproduce. So Noah made the ark, and set sail, sort of speaking. When God sent the drownage on people, everyone drowned except Noah and the Ark occupants. After 150 days the rain ( that made so much water ) stopped. The Ark stood on Mt.Ararat. To see if there was land yet, Noah sent a crow to check but the crow kept coming back with nothing. So Noah sent pigeon. The first time, the pigeon came back. But the second time the pigeon returned with an olive brainch. And that is how Noah knew that there was land. When Noah finally arrived, he let the aniamls out and they scattered through the planet. Then Noah made a little altar of rocks. He took some birds and animals and sacrificed them to God. And God said " I won't curse the land because of human, since the human is mean because of youth. I will no longer kill every creature, like I did. Now I am going to let them live in peace." And God made a treaty with Noah and his family that He will not kill any creature in floods. He also put a rainbow to represent their treaty ( Their= the people and animals included.)

 * The Tower of Babel ** Noah's sons had many kids, that way making many people on the land. During that time the people spoke one language. So the people decided to make a tower that was so tall it can reach to heaven. And the building began. People began fighting and yelling at each other. And the higher the they got, the more the people started getting angrier. They wanted to become higher than God. And God did not want that. He spread the people apart and made different languages. The people didn't understand each other anymore. And couldn't continue to build the tower. That is why the location of the place was called Babel meaning " mixture, mixing". =====
