As powerful as Mother Nature is, she has feelings too. It was Valentine's Day and Mother Nature was in a good mood. She made the sun a little brighter, the sky a little clearer, the winds calm, and the oceans as blue as ever. As Mother Nature began to look down at her world, she felt a little sad and lonely. She knew it was Valentine's Day and that it was a holiday to celebrate love.
She thought to herself, "There are so many people in love and have someone to love, but who will be my Valentine?..."
She began to cry and when Mother Nature cries, the whole world knows. Tears rolled down her face into oceans, creating giant tsunami waves. The sky turned dark, the clouds rumbled, and the winds roared. The world experienced a storm like no other, mother Nature had thrown the temper tantrum of all tantrums.
While all this was occurring there was an intelligent and wise man named Noah. Noah was very intuitive and had a gut feeling something big was going to happen. Noah enjoyed building and construction work. So, in his spare time he would build whatever he could think of. His next big project was to build an ark. Not just any ark, but an ark that could fit men, women, children, and animals. People thought he was out of his mind and a little messed up in the head, despite all the judgment and criticism he stuck to his gut feeling to finishing this project.
Noah was enjoying his Valentine's Day as a single man. He spent is day watering his garden, watching The Notebook, eating a whole box of chocolates, and putting the finishing touches on his ark. When all of a sudden, the sky turned dark and a storm came like no other. Noah looked at his ark, then looked up to the sky and he knew something was wrong.
Many people had heard the stories of Mother Nature, but never thought twice to think if she was real, much less have feelings. However, Noah believed in Mother Nature and that she truly did control the sun and the sky.
So he called out to her, "Mother Nature, Mother Nature why are the winds roaring and the skies so dark?"
Mother Nature rarely had anyone reach out to her. She looked down at the little man with the ark and replied, "I have a broken heart and I am all alone!"
Noah replied, "But, Mother Nature you are not alone! Look at all your creations! I'll be your friend!" Mother Nature looked around and realized that the little man she just met was right. All of a sudden, Mother Nature's tears dried up and the skies cleared and the sun was bright. She was not alone and spent Valentine's day with a new friend.
