Problems With The Ark
Anyone who builds an Ark can expect complaints, and not just from the animals.
“This’s your stupidest idea yet, Noah.”
She got right to the point.
Not only was his wife seasick after 40 days and allergic to the weasels, but now she had to squeeze between two rhinos to sleep.
“Look, I'm only following orders.”
Orders – that was always his excuse.
Mrs. Noah added more frown lines to her face.
“Well, here's my order. From now on you’re sleeping between the two rhinos.”
“What?”
“No, forget the rhinoceroses.” She knew ‘rhinoceri’ was an improper term. “Make that the hippos.”
