Since eustace read a secularly (kufr) biased science book and decided noah's ark was a fairy tale.
38.*Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the chiefs of his people passed by him, they would mock him. He said: "If ye mock at us now, we (in our turn) can look down on you with mockery likewise!
39.*"But soon will ye know who it is on whom will descend a penalty that will cover them with shame,- on whom will be unloosed a penalty lasting:"
40.*At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.
41.*So he said: "Embark ye on the Ark, In the name of Allah, whether it move or be at rest! For my Lord is, be sure, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"
42.*So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): "O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"43.*The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.
44.*Then the word went forth: "O earth! swallow up thy water, and O sky! Withhold (thy rain)!" and the water abated, and the matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: "Away with those who do wrong!"

Scimi, this one should answer the nursery rhyme riddle ;)
Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 39 :: Hadith 517*Narrated Abu Huraira:*
The Prophet said,*"While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, 'I have not been created for this purpose (i.e. carrying), I have been created for sloughing."*
The Prophet added, "I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar believe in the story."
The Prophet went on,*"A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it, the wolf said,
*'Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will be no shepherd for it except me?'*"
After narrating it, the Prophet said, "I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar too believe it."*
Abu Salama (a sub-narrator) said, "Abu Bakr and 'Umar were not present then."
(It has been written that a wolf also spoke to one of the companions of the Prophet near Medina as narrated in Fatah-al-Bari:
*Narrated Unais bin 'Amr: Ahban bin Aus said, "I was amongst my sheep. Suddenly a wolf caught a sheep and I shouted at it.
The wolf sat on its tail and addressed me, saying, 'Who will look after it (i.e. the sheep) when you will be busy and not able to look after it? Do you forbid me the provision which Allah has provided me?'
"Ahban added, "I clapped my hands and said, 'By Allah, I have never seen anything more curious and wonderful than this!'
On that the wolf said,'There is something (more curious) and wonderful than this;*that is, Allah's Apostle in those palm trees, inviting people to Allah (i.e. Islam).'"
Unais bin 'Amr further said, "Then Ahban went to Allah's Apostle and informed him what happened and embraced Islam.)"
