A NOTE TO R EADERS
According to tradition, God gave Noah instructions for managing everything
having to do with the care of the animals on the Ark, from feeding and housing
them, to dealing with animal waste. Some scholars say that Noah’s Ark had three
“decks,” with waste stored on the lowest deck, people and animals on the middle
deck, and birds on the top deck. A different interpretation describes the waste as
being stored on the top deck and then shoveled into the sea. Of course we don’t
really know, so enjoy our lighthearted interpretation.
