Part 5: The Zoo Race: Cain's Caverns

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!
