Listening

ACTIVITY 2: It’s Story Time !!!

Listen to your teacher as he / she reads the story “ The Problems on the Ark . “

Problems on the Ark

On Noah’s Ark , things were getting a bit boring. Noah and his animals had spent so
many days secluded that they started organizing games and activities to amuse themselves.
but with all that pent-up
energy , the games got rather rowdy , and a woodpecker ended up drilling a hole in the
bottom of the ark.
As water began entering the boat, the hole got bigger. So , more water came in , and things
got a bit worrying.

One by one , different animals tried to fix the hole. The beaver built a dam over the
hole , but not even that worked. Everyone was scared, worried that the boat would sink. That
was, until the bee started talking. The
bee explained to everyone how it was that bees always worked together, as a team, each
one doing the job he or she was best at.

On hearing this, all the animals set about working together. The birds grabbed onto
parts of the ark with their beaks, and flapped their wings furiously, lifting the boat up a little.
The elephants sucked up the water

in their trunks and shot it back into the sea. The fastest animals ran here and there, collecting
materials. Those used to making nests took these materials and stuffed them quickly into the
hole.

And so, working together, the animals managed to reduce the amount of water
coming into the ark, but
they still hadn’t stopped it completely. Desperate, they kept asking each other if there were
any other animals that could help. Then, suddenly , a little fish swam in through the hole. The
animals realized that they still had not asked for help from all the sea creatures. They asked
the little fish to go and summon help to save their boat.
A big whale came, and the whale pressed its great belly against the hole in the ship. This
stopped any more water entering, and it gave the animals on the ark time to close up the
hole.

The animals in the ark did not rely only on each other for help. They also asked the
animals at sea to help them. This shows us that there are times when we need help from
others outside our community.

GRAMMAR

In the story. “ Problems on the Ark, “ no matter what the animals did, they could not
stop the water from coming into ark. That is, until the bees taliked and told them how bees
