Realizations
Written by: John A
“…end. The world would come to an end. If thou can, save thine own a**.” God was never so forthright. This time, Noah realized, He meant business. “Go build yourself an Ark”, He advised. “What about the Kyoto Protocol? The environmentalists would sue me if I fell so many trees…”, asked Noah. “Don’t care, neither would they be there, nor would there be any Environment… Ha ha ha”… and by sounding these thunderous laughters He vanished into thin air.
Noah opened his eyes. He could not believe himself. Can God be so cruel to ask him to build an Ark at the age of 600? He wanted to go back to God, but did not know where He lived. So, he searched in Google, but even Google could not answer. God’s home was nowhere found in Google Maps and even his GPS (God Positioning System) failed!
Cursing his bad luck, Noah sat down brooding. A tall well-built young boy with too many muscles, was passing by. On seeing Noah crying, he asked, “Hey Ol’Gran’pa… why’re u cryin?” On listening to Noah’s story he agreed to help. He introduced himself as Arnold T-O. “God has sent me to save Humanity for Judgement Day”, he added.
So with Arnold’s help Noah built an Ark. Now he was supposed to wait for the doomsday. Days passed, weeks passed, and even months passed, nothing happened. Finally one day, when he had almost given up, the earth beneath his feet started shaking. He realized that the doomsday has come. Hurriedly taking all the birds, animals, and Arnold inside, he closed the doors of the Ark. The sky was getting darker, and violent winds were blowing from all corners of the earth. Noah realized, everything that has a beginning has to come to an end. And then after the violent earthquake, the Great Tsunami came and pounced on Noah’s Ark. For days and nights the Ark floated and floated, and one day it landed on the Mountains of Ararat. Noah sent out a dove and it did not return. The water has subsided. He opened the gates of his Ark and came out to see the bright sunshine on the lush green fields of the earth. Trees have grown and fruits were ripe. Fresh breeze carrying the scent of blossoming flowers filled his heart. It was Spring again. “After every End there is a new Beginning”, Noah said to himself.
