Well my dear friends, I come to you today, with another exciting adventure.
We go back in time to the days just before the great flood.
Father Noah was discussing boarding preparations with his family.
He wanted all of the animals to be in tip top shape when they boarded.
“ Only the good Lord knows, how long we’ll all be coped up in that old arc.”5


Pg 26

He said jokingly to his family.
“ Just think my family, we are going to be the only people on earth after God destroys all the evil in the world.”
“ Gosh pops,” Noah’s youngest son piped in, “ You’re right that is an awesome job that Yahweh has given to just a little family.”
“ Yes my son, but Our great God only gives awesome jobs to awesome people, am I right ?”
“ Right, you are as always, dad,” the whole group replied.
Which pleased Father Noah to no end.
“ I have just been scratching my head here, wondering what kind of game we could play that would give every one a fair chance at winning, 7

and at the same time get every one in shape for the long voyage ahead.”
“ How about baseball,” the middle son answered.
“ Nope, too competitive Noah said.
“ We need a nice slow paced game where everyone has an equal chance,”
“ Then they all shouted at once, “Crochet !”
“ Perfect, my word I’m impressed with you my family, Yahweh will surely be most pleased.
Well they set off at once to set up a court, not knowing when God was going to start it raining.
They quickly made up two teams.
“The Racing Flaingo’s, “ and the
“ Plundering Pacaderms.”9

Pg.411

Rachel the Rhino, was made the captain of the Flamingo’s ( only because Father Noah knew that she would get that large nose and horn out of joint if he didn’t pick her. Ha.ha. )
And of course, that ever popular, “ Philly the Precous Pacaderms.” As the captain of those precouis Pacaderms.
Choosing team-mates was done in the
“ Old Testament way of course, “
Yahweh picked a player and Noah picked a player.
( We all know that God always picked the best players.)
So it was up to Noah to make sure no ones feelings we’re hurt so he picked the least popular, but he had this knack of making them feel he really 12

needed them.
That’s why God chose him to be the Captain of His special Ark, after all.
The two teams at the ready, Zelda the Zebra, ( those natural stripes of hers made her the favourite choice for referee.
Zelda blew her whistle and with that the game started.
Now when I was younger, we played
a lot of crocket at the cottage, where the ground was never very flat, which made it more challenging.
But old father Noah, knowing his animals pretty well had a perfectly made regulation court so none of them could cheat.14

So each animal would get a turn at hitting the ball through those hoops, the first one to go of course was Rachel. She stepped up to that ball and gave it a thunderous whack. It went through all of the hoops and hit the pole at the end of the court ! Everyone cheered. Except for Philly.
“ One point for the Flaminogo’s,” Zelda
cried out .
Well next up was, Philly, “ How in the world can I match that.” She confided sadly to old Father Noah.
“ Dear Philly,” He said calmly, “ Remember as I said to my family earlier, that God only gives special jobs to special people and you’re very special.”17


Pg.7
So she held her trunk up high and walked up to that little ball,
And whack ! It went sailing, it bounced off of Gerty Gorilla’s nose,
Henry the hynia’s mouth, and right through those hoops at the end.
Well, Zelda declared a tie. At that moment it started too pour.
“ Thank you dear God.” Noah said.
And Yaweh, looked down and gave him a wink.
The End.18
