The stars help the moon give light to the earth
at night. Now we know when it is day and night.
God did all of this on the fourth day.

make weeks, months, and years. The sun helps
to make it summer, fall, winter, or spring. | Moon

Fifth Day: Birds and Fish
The earth was very quiet. On the fifth day, God
created every kind of fish to fill the sea. He also
made every kind of bird to fly in the air. God was very happy.
He blessed the birds and the fish.
God told the birds and fish to multiply and fill the earth. Birds grew
and made more birds. Fish grew and made more fish.
The birds and fish are living objects. To live, they need
air, water, light, and food. Birds and fish are animals.
God created these animals for us. We have to take
care of them for God. Birds and fish will always be on
the earth, if we take care of the earth.

Sixth Day: Land Animals, Reptiles, and
Man
On the sixth day, God made all kinds of animals, cattle,
and reptiles. All of these things are living objects, too. To
live, they need air, water, light, and food. They grow and
have baby animals.
God was not finished. He wanted someone to rule over all life on
earth, in the sky, and in the sea. So God made man.
Man would be in charge of the earth. God gave man everything he
needed to grow.
Man was a living object. God gave man air, light, water,
and food so he would grow. But man was made like God.
Man was also a living soul (like God). Everything was
good. God was very happy. He blessed everything He
had made. God rested on the seventh day.
