Conclusion of The Great Flood

Then Noah let a black bird called a raven out of the ark. It would fly away for awhile and then it would come back, because it could not find a good place to land. It kept doing this and each time it returned and each time it returned , it would, it would rest on the ark. 

 Noah wanted to see if the waters had run off the earth, so  next he sent a dove out of the ark.  But the dove came back too because it could not find a place to stay.   Noah sent it a second time, and it brought back an olive leaf in its beak. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down. Noah sent out the dove a third time, and finally it found a place to live.

God now spoke to Noah. He said:  'Go out of the ark. Take your whole family and the animals with you.'  They had been inside the ark for more than a whole year. So we can just imagine how happy they all were to be outside again and to be alive!
