He set out, told his bosom friends he would be building an ark that would save world. He wanted them to assist him, but they mocked him because no one had ever thought of building an ark. They told him world can never be flooded and went about their business.

He had a heavy heart. He was frustrated and sat down for a while, thinking he must have got wrong kind of dream. But more he tried to get it out of his mind, more vision became real and he was left with no choice, but build it all by himself.

He wasted no more time, drew out his plan and immediately set to work. He kept on building even when friends came around and laughed at his stupid prophecies of a flooded earth. Sometimes he would work till late in night only to wake up in morning to discover some part of ark had been destroyed.

Despite fact that he had to rebuild some part of ark, he wasn’t mad at his family, wasn’t angry with his friends who made a fool of him. He didn’t complaining nor harasses man upstairs. There weren’t skyscrapers in his time, so I’m talking about God.

At long last, after so many years, he completed his assignment and instead of resting, he took his family and animals he might find useful into ark. He abandoned his house and chose to live in ark he spent some of his lifetime building.
