Prophet Noah
Prophet Noah, also known as the guy who convinced a bunch of animals to hang out in a big boat during a massive flood, was a radical dude who lived around 5000 years ago. He was known for being a skilled boat-builder and wine-maker, which certainly would have made him popular at any party.
Noah’s claim to fame, of course, was the construction of the ark, a massive vessel that was designed to survive a torrential downpour unlike anything the world had ever seen. It was basically the ultimate “doomsday prepper” project.
Noah was no fool, and he knew that he needed a lot of animals to repopulate the world once the floodwaters had subsided. So, he set about gathering two of every species, which was quite a challenge considering that he didn’t have access to any modern zoos or scientific knowledge about animal behavior.
Thankfully, Noah was a brilliant strategist and animal psychologist, and he was able to convince all of the animals to come aboard the ark voluntarily. It was quite a sight to see - imagine giraffes sticking their heads out of portholes and zebras playing poker in the galley.
Noah wasn’t content to just hang out on the ark for forty days and forty nights, though. He was a busy bee, and he spent that time trying to convince his fellow humans that they should probably cut back on all the wickedness and start living a more virtuous life.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much luck with that, and once the floodwaters subsided, the world was pretty much back to its old wicked ways in no time. But hey, at least we got a bunch of cute animals out of the deal, right?
Today, Noah is remembered as a wise prophet who was perhaps a bit ahead of his time. He had a vision for a world filled with harmony and cooperation, and he did everything he could to make that vision a reality. And hey, if it hadn’t been for him, we might not be able to go to the zoo and see cute baby animals. Thanks, Noah!
