When Noah checks his list of animals, he finds the sloths are missing: they're too tired to get aboard. Despite the urgings of the other animals, they are in no hurry as the rising waters submerge their tree. Eventually, though, the sloths climb aboard, courtesy of the elephants' trunks. An amusing and colourful variation of the traditional story, given a present-tense telling which offers opportunities for audience participation.
