The Zoo Race game creature stories: 

 

 

 

Hannah describes her dream in the movie.

 

 

 

 

   

 

The story of Hannah the Horse and the crows:

 

One day Hannah the Horse was racing on lots of green grass. Suddenly she noticed that lots of crows had come out.  “Look Cain!”, she declared, “The crows have come out to greet us.”, but just then she noticed that the crows were indeed flying overhead, but they also were pooping lots of poop from above.  As the noise and stench came from above, she shouted aloud, “Quick everyone!” “Let’s run into this cave over here!”.

 

Then Hannah noticed that the cave ending was a cliff that dropped down to a deep river far below.  Agggh!, she screamed as she fell down.  “Oh those nasty crows”, she said aloud.  “If I could just be on the moon, then there would be no more crows, because crows don’t live on the moon!”

 

Hannah’s Moon Trip:

On another day, however, Hannah found herself on a rocket and then afterwards on the moon itself.  While on the moon she heard the faint sound of a bird.  It was… It was crows!  The crows were on the moon!  Yes and their crow poop were there also again, but she tried hard to avoid it.

 

Hannah Prays:

After the race, Hannah asked the Lord about the crows.  “Lord? She asked, “Why were the crows on the moon?” “Crows don’t normally live on the moon, right?”  Then the Lord God spoke to Hannah the Horse.  “HANNAH, said the Lord.  I PUT THE CROWS ON THE MOON. DO NOT BE MAD AT THE CROWS, FOR THEY ARE ONLY A SYMBOL OF THE TRIALS AND TESTINGS THAT OCCUR IN YOUR REAL LIFE.  YOU MUST OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT LIFE MAY BRING YOUR WAY AND ALSO TRUST IN ME THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSED CREATURE.

 

And that is exactly what Hannah the Horse did.  She trusted and praised the Lord all the days of her life.  One more thing Lord, Hannah prayed aloud.  Now that the race is finished and we are standing here on the moon, then how shall I get back down to earth again?

Then the Lord God spoke again to Hannah the Horse saying:

DIDN’T YOU SEE THAT’SPACE SHUTTLE THAT I PROVIDED FOR YOU UP ON THE MOON?  COM’ON HANNAH!   WAKE UP!   SO, GET NOAH NOW AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND BOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE AND BLAST OFF BACK TO THE EARTH, AND OH, ALSO, HAVE A HAPPY AND FUN JOURNEY.  

 

“Yes Lord!” Hannah happily shouted and she quickly obeyed.

 

 

 

The story of Rueben and Priscilla and the glass maze:

 

 

 

 

“I can’t wait to get started” Priscilla the Pig said as she stood at the starting line.  READY, SET, GO!  Standing at the line, everyone heard the voice declaring the race to begin and so everyone started running. As Priscilla the Pig was racing, she went into a breakable glass maze and heard the glass breaking.  Boom! She heard the glass shattering all around her. After a while, however, she noticed a strange pain in her leg.  Owww!, She cried out. Somebody help me. I’ am hurting and are feeling bad.  Most of the other creatures that day did not hear her or were too busy struggling to win the race to help her.  Everyone that is but Rueben the Rhino and he did notice her.

Rueben stops to help:

“Priscilla?  What is wrong?”, asked Rueben the Rhino.  “I have glass in my leg, a piece of glass and it hurts”, said Prissy, “Please help me.”  Rueben thought about this for a moment. “Priscilla”, How can I win the race if I stop to help you?”, asked Rueben.  “I’m sorry, but I have to go now and try to win this race, goodbye.” Rueben turned away.  “Wait!, cried Prissy, wait!  I hurt, please!”   Rueben turned towards her and had a change of heart.  “I am a large creature and I will carry you on my back” said Rueben.  Rueben then bent down and Priscilla climbed on his muscular back and he struggled onwards toward the finish line.

At the finish line:

Meanwhile, at the finish line, Noah and all the creatures began to worry about both Rueben and Priscilla.  “Where were they?” They wondered.  After a time, Rueben with Prissy on his back appeared to them.  Yes, they both did finish, but were in last place. Everybody looked on in amazement as Rueben hobbled across the finish line with Priscilla on his back. Then Noah declared something special.

Noah’s Declaration:

Today, we have a new type of winner.  The winner is Rueben the Rhino!  Because he took the time to help a fellow creature, when he did not have to help, so then at this moment and at this hour, he is declared the official winner of this race!   Yes, Rueben the Rhinoceros was the real winner, because he learned that helping others was the ultimate goal of real life.  Indeed, at the creature party dance, Rueben began to dance with a special dance.  “The LORD is so very special!” He shouted as he danced onwards.  Amen Rueben, Amen, said everyone.

 

 

The story of Cain the Cougar and the golden treasure:

 

 

 

The rains were upon the earth and the Ark was floating amidst a great ocean.  “Shiver me Timbers”, Cain dreamed, “Oggh, to be a pirate and to sail the high seas with adventure!”, Cain thought, “It must be good to have all that gold booty.  Har!  Har!”

 

The race starts:

 After the floodwater left and the races started, the race into Cain’s Caverns had just begun. “Aha, ye land lubbers, I will win this” declared Cain.  During the race, Cain felt excitement all around. The race was on and all the creatures were trying so very hard to win. There even seemed to be music playing in the air.

 

Sailing Ships:

At one point in the race, however, Cain also noticed some small ships that were sailing, but were in some very large waves.  “Wow, what does that mean?” wondered Cain.  These small ships are going to sink eventually for sure. The waves are too large.”

 

Then the Lord God spoke to Cain the Cougar.  CAIN!, said the Lord, THOSE SMALL SHIPS THAT ARE IN THE LARGE WAVES AND ARE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE REPRESENT THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF LIFE.  THOSE PEOPLE IN THOSE SHIPS, IF THEY LOOK ONLY AT THE WAVES, THEN THEY WILL SINK AND DROWN AND DIE, BUT IF THEY HAVE FAITH AND LOOK AT THE UNSEEN AND ALSO LOVE THE LORD THEIR GOD AND FOLLOW HIM, THEN THEY WILL LIVE AND BE SAVED!

 

After Cain had won the race, he did notice some very large mountains of gold at the finish line and it was a very fine treasure indeed, but on that day, however, Cain had learned something far greater than gold.  Cain had learned that faith and also love was a far greater treasure than any money could ever buy.  For gold is a temporary object, but God’s love and forgiveness is absolutely eternal he reasoned.

Praise God! Cain Roared!

 

 

The story of Seth the Sheep and his hidden strength

 

 

One day the Lord spoke to Seth the Sheep about the upcoming creature games Noah had planned.

GO FORWARD AND RACE IN THE GAMES, said the Lord to Seth.

 

But Lord, said Seth, I’ am too slow to be in a race.  I cannot jump well.  I’m only a lowly sheep.

I cannot win against a faster horse or cougar.  They run so fast. The Rhinoceros and the bear are so big and might squash me.  I’ am so small dear Lord.   Those creatures are so fast Lord!

 

WHAT IS THAT PRIZE RIBBON YOU ARE WEARING SETH?, asked the Lord.  DIDN'T YOU WIN THAT FIRST PLACE RIBBON IN A RECENT SWIMMING COMPETITION WHILE ON THE ARK?

YES, INDEED IT'S TRUE YOU ARE A SLOW LAND RUNNER, said the Lord, BUT YOU CAN SWIM TWICE THE SPEED OF THE HORSE OR THE COUGAR AND YOU ARE CERTAINLY MUCH FASTER THAN THE BIG RHINOCEROS.  GO FORWARD AND DO YOUR WORK, said the Lord to Seth.

 

So, Seth participated in the race on that day and when he came into the water, he swam with all of his heart as fast as he could. He then remembered all the swimming parties that he and Noah had upon the Ark boat previously.  Yes!  In fact, Seth found himself to be quite an expert swimmer compared with the faster land creatures.  He swam and looked around and then passed the slower horse and cougar with ease in the water.

Baa !  Seth cried out, as he moved quickly in the water.  Baa !

 

Seth won the race on that day and everybody was so very happy. Seth danced and danced and all of his friends were also rejoicing.  The music and fireworks and celebration were all too much for him!

 

Seth had found something he had forgotten. He had found a strength that he did not know he had.  Yes, and in the process he had overcome his fears and shortcomings in life.

 

These hidden and unknown strengths are something that God wants to give to all of us, but we must first ask and then trust in Him.

 

All of us have special and unique talents and we can do it if we try. 

Let us all do what God said to Seth the Sheep and GO FORWARD with trust and great determination!  Amen…

 

 

The story of Bethany the Bear and the wild stampede:

 

 

  

Bethany at some times seemed like an outcast, because she looked and sounded different than most of the other creatures on the ark. Bethany did not always fit into some of the other groups of friends on the Ark.  Noah, however, had always told her that she was very courageous.  “Bethany, you are a special quality and you are courageous” Noah told her.   Bethany’s idea for living was a pure and simple idea.  “If I just love others and trust in God, she reasoned, then everything will be okay”.

 

The Wild Elephant Stampede:

During one of the races, Cain and the other creatures were caught in a stampede of a great many of wild elephants.  The elephants were coming straight down the middle of the road with their huge tusks pointing out. As the elephants approached Cain and Hannah, then they began to be afraid.  “Aye, ya land lubbers!” Cain shouted, but that would not move the elephants. “Help us somebody!  Help!”, Cain shouted.

Just then they heard a mighty roar coming near them.  It was Bethany the Bear!   ROAR!  She screamed out running towards the oncoming stampeded.  “ROAR!” The stampeding elephants became scared and froze in fear and were driven off by Bethany the Bear. In fact, the elephants did scream themselves aloud numerous times and were very fearful of her when she came near.

 

Hey everyone!  Let’s follow Bethany! Bethany, I think I love you! Cain shouted aloud as they continued the race towards the finish line.  And thus they did just that.  Everybody realized the truth that Noah had spoken that day. Bethany the Bear was a very special creature indeed.

 

 

The story of Gad the Goat’s prayer and the food:

 

 

 

 

Gad the Goat loved eating food; because it gave him energy and also could make him grow stronger in life.  “I am a warrior and have to eat all the food that I can, said Gad to himself, and then I can grow stronger in size to compete better in all the races.”  Then Gad the Goat began to reason some more, “This food is the key to my existence.”

 

After that, then the Lord God spoke to Gad the Goat saying:

GAD!  YOU LIKE THIS FOOD DO YOU?

 

Yes Lord, Gad said softly.  It can help me Lord to be strong.

 

Then the Lord God again spoke to Gad the Goat saying:

YOU CAN LIKE THIS FOOD, BUT THE SPIRITUAL FOOD THAT I GIVE TO ALL CREATION THAT WOULD REALLY HELP THEM., FOR THIS ETERNAL FOOD IS ENERGY TO LOVE AND SERVE OTHERS AND IT IS THE FOOD THAT SHALL GIVE ETERNAL LIFE.  EAT THAT FOOD GAD. EAT IT.

 

After this, then Gad the Goat knelt down and worshipped and prayed the Lord saying, “Give me this eternal food Lord, that I may serve you better.”  “For I truly desire to live for you Lord and want to do it your way and not my own way.”

 

From that day onwards, Gad the Goat was blessed of God.  Yes, he still ate the temporary earthly food, but he also had eternal food to eat as well. That eternal food is the type of food that only God can give to everyone of us.

 

 

 

 

 The story of Tamar the Tiger and her shiny jewelry

 

 

 

 

 

A lovely and beautiful creature named Tamar the Tiger was getting ready for the next race. “I will wear my jewelry and look real good”, declared Tamar.  “After I cross the finish line in first place, then my necklace and jewelry will surely sparkle and everything will be real nice”, she reasoned.

 

Just then, however, Tamar the Tiger noticed something was wrong. She noticed that her necklace was missing!  “Oh, where is my jewelry and what has happened to it? She asked aloud.”  As she looked very thoroughly for it, she did figure that another creature had taken it.

 

 

Tamar’s Reasoning:

“Who took my Jewels?” asked Tamar.  “It must have been that strange looking Priscilla the Pig girl maybe, yes that one who wears that silly looking round black hat.  I never trusted her.”

 

“Or perhaps it was that crazy Cain the Cougar who wears an eye patch on his eye.  His preference of music is not good either. Yes, that must be what happened, it was Cain who took it!  Why can’t everyone dress normal and prefer the same music as I do? Most certainly we should never trust anyone wearing an eye patch.”

 

Tamar looked down at this time and then noticed a shiny spot on a large rock ahead.  It, it was her Jewelry!  “Here it is, hooray I found it! Declared Tamar.  Tamar put on her jewelry and started walking towards the starting line of the racetrack.

 

Tamar the Tiger hears the word of God:

As Tamar walked along the road, she heard the voice of the Lord saying:

TAMAR THE TIGER!  DO YOU REALLY LIKE THOSE JEWELS THAT MUCH?

 

Tamar realized this voice and knelt down. “Lord? She replied hesitating. The Jewels do look nice, thank you so much for providing it for me.  What shall I do?”

 

TAMAR?  WHAT ABOUT CAIN AND PRISCILLA WHOM YOU HAVE PRE-JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR APPEARANCE?  DO YOU REALLY KNOW CAIN?  FOR ONLY I THE LORD GOD TRULY KNOWS THE HEARTS OF ALL CREATION.  

 

CAIN THE COUGAR HAS A GOOD HEART. 

YES, HE CERTAINLY IS DIFFERENT THAN YOU, BUT HIS HEART IS FOR ME.  PRISCILLA THE PIG ALSO IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURSELF, BUT WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE THEM?  JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS DIFFERENT THAN YOU, DOES NOT MEAN NECESSARILY THAT THEY ARE WRONG.

 

Tamar began to tremble and said, “Yes Lord, as always you are correct. I pray your forgiveness and I give my life to you Lord”.  After this, Tamar the Tiger dared not to judge another creature based on appearance alone.  For Tamar had discovered that only God could accurately judge a persons heart.  Tamar the Tiger lived all the days of her life praising and focusing on God and His Messiah alone.
