The Babies Love A Good Story At Bedtime

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am!

The Wet Nose

Funny

When a man named Noah started building a boat out in the middle of the desert, everybody laughed. They thought he was daft. But Noah wasn't listening to them, he was listening to the God of the Hebrews, who said to build a boat. So Noah built a boat. Noah called his boat an ark.

When he finished it, he rounded up all the animals, 2 by 2 to travel on his ark.People laughed at Noah's possums and panthers and penguins. They laughed at his cheetahs and chinchillas, giraffes and gazelles and rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses. Into the ark they went, 2 by 2. Pretty soon, it started to rain.

It rained and it poured and it rained some more. People stopped laughing and the ark started floating. Noah and his family and all the animals 2 by 2, rode safely on the waters. They sailed for 40 days and 40 nights. When the rains stopped, out of the ark came Noah and his family and all the animals 2 by 2. Except one.

No one could find the little dog. Noah searched everywhere.He looked on the first deck. He looked on the second deck then the third deck.Finally, in the farthest corner of the lowest deck he found the little dog.

The dog was shivering and standing with his nose pressed hard against the side of the boat. "Come here little dog" called Noah. "It's time to come out!Here doggie, doggie!" The little dog wouldn't move. Noah gently pulled him away."What's this?" said Noah. "A hole in the ark! The ark might have sunk! Little dog! You kept us safe-me, my family and all of the animals, 2 by 2! With your little nose!"

The little dog was proud. But mostly he was hungry."Little dog" said Noah, as he pulled out a juicy bone, "so all the world and all the generations will know your great deed, your nose will always be cold and wet, just as it is today." That's how the dog got his cold, wet nose.The next time when you feel your dog's nose, remember the little dog who used his nose to protect Noah, his family and all of the animals, 2 by 2.
