It rained, softly at first, but then more rain and it didn't stop. The animals all tried to crowd onto a small island. Fortunately, a boat came by and they were invited to come aboard—two by two! Now what to do to pass the time? Some played games. But then there was a storm! The animals were getting restless. Finally, a bird flew ahead and came back with evidence of land. They soon were able to disembark, and thanked Mr. Noah. The animals are clearly depicted in this version presenting the animals' perspectives.
