Later __Noah__ sent out a bird called a __dove__. But it also could not find any dry land, so it came back to Noah. A week later he sent the dove out again, and it came back with an __olive branch__ in its beak! __The water was going down__, and the plants were growing again! 

之后挪亚放出一只称作鸽子的飞鸟，但仍找不着任何的干地，于是又飞回挪亚那里。再等了七天，他又放出一只鸽子，鸽子回来时嘴里衔着一根橄榄枝！水正在消退，植物再次生长！
