Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Stories for Children There was once a great storm of rain that covered the earth with a flood; first the fields and valleys were covered, and then the high hills, and last of all the mountains. All the nations who have lived Since have some story of this flood. Even the savage tribes in far-away lands have their stories of how the earth was once covered with water. There is an old Chaldean story about a man who once built a vessel in which he was saved from drowning; and in the vessel with him were many different animals and birds. Another singular story is told of a battle between the sea and the earth. In this fight the sea wins the day, and the earth is covered by the water. There is also a Phrygian story of a man named Enos who foresaw that there was to come a great rain; and it is said that he wept and prayed for his people, because of the terrible flood that was coming upon them. A curious medal has been found that tells about this flood, and upon it is a picture of a square-shaped vessel This is floating upon the water, and has the picture of a man and woman standing within it. There are two birds in the picture; one of them is perched on top of the vessel and the other is flying toward it, with a branch in his mouth. From the Bible we have our story of the Flood, and it is one of the most interesting which we find in the sacred Book.
