The next day Noah
awoke to find that the sprinkle of yesterday were over and that the
onslaught of precipitation had begun. Noah gathered his troupe
together and told them that the time had come to seal the great door
that all had entered through. Noah's sons began the task of first
closing and then waterproofing the entire girth of the door. This
was no easy task and many of the family helped in the task.
Noah meandered to the upper decks of his vessel and was worried about
the masses that still clung to the hope that Noah could save
them. He reached his perch and looked across the now puddled
earth. He felt pity on the poor people of the earth. And he
knew that all but him and his people would live on. He tried to
reach the people once more in hope that there was time for them to do
as he had done. Noah lifted his voice to the heavens and said:
"Kane saw that the people
had turned evil, so he punished their sins with a flood. Nu'u and
his people built a great canoe and they entered it when the flood
began. As the waters rose up Nu'u's wicked and evil
brother-in-law was indulging himself in pleasure and he ran to the
great door of the canoe and banged his fists against the side. He
requested entry and his calls went unheard by the canoe's
occupants. The evil brother-in-law became angry and called upon
the god Lono in the name of his sister but did not escape Kane's
fury. He cursed the first pair of people who had brought
wickedness into this world and he prayed to Lono that the earth be
totally destroyed and that the first pair of evil doers be brought back
to life to see the trouble they had brought upon their ancestors.
This large canoe had a roof over the top like a floating house.
This canoe was given to Nu'u and his people by Kane. The canoe
held a myriad of items, and while the flood covered the earth Nu'u
ruled the canoe with an iron fist. When the flood waters receded
Nu'u and his people repopulated the islands. "
Noah being an old gray headed man could bear the sight of the doomed
people no more and with a sigh he returned to the cozy confines of his
great vessel. He needed to lend a hand in the preparing for the
long voyage ahead, and his sons still needed instruction on finishing
the door.
