Once, there were two brothers named Moses and Aaron. The Lord told them, "Go to Pharaoh, who was the ruler of Egypt, and tell him to let the Israelites go free." But Pharaoh was a stubborn man, so it would be a miracle to convince him. However, when he finally agrees.

So, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh as God had asked. In front of Pharaoh, Aaron threw his staff on the ground, and it magically turned into a snake, just as God had told Moses it would. But Pharaoh didn't seem surprised or scared. He actually smiled and called for his own magicians.

Pharaoh's magicians came forward and did the same trick. They threw their staffs on the ground, and they turned into snakes too. Moses and Aaron were disappointed.

Just when Moses was feeling defeated, something amazing happened. Moses' snake swallowed up all the other snakes! This made Moses happy because it showed that God's power was greater. Moses thought Pharaoh would surely let the Israelites go after this, but Pharaoh didn't care. He said, "Nice try, but the Israelites belong to me. They have to stay and work for Egypt. I won't set them free."

Moses left Pharaoh's presence feeling disappointed, but God had already told them it wouldn't be easy. When God spoke to them again, Moses and Aaron listened carefully. God said, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He won't change his mind easily. Go see him tomorrow morning. Even though he didn't listen today, I will keep showing him that I am God."

Moses and Aaron met Pharaoh the next morning. Aaron told Pharaoh, "Because you still won't listen, God is going to turn all the water in Egypt into blood. The fish will die, the river will stink, and no one will be able to drink it, not even the Egyptians."

Pharaoh smiled and said, "Go ahead then." So Aaron did as the Lord had instructed. He put his staff into the water, and just like that, the water turned into blood. Pharaoh seemed a little surprised, but he called for his magicians again. They also turned water into blood. Seeing this, Pharaoh's heart became even more stubborn.

After the water turned into blood, all the fish in Egypt's rivers and lakes died, and the water smelled really bad.
Even after a whole week of this icky water, Pharaoh still wouldn't let the Israelite people go free. His magicians tried to fix it, but they couldn't turn the blood back into water either. God spoke to Aaron and Moses again and told them to go see Pharaoh. God said, "Tell Pharaoh to let my people go. If he refuses, I will send a lot of frogs to bother him and everyone in Egypt."

Aaron and Moses did what God asked, but Pharaoh still said no. So Aaron waved his hand over the water, and suddenly frogs were everywhere! They hopped around and jumped on people!

Pharaoh's magicians could also make frogs appear, but this was the last time their magic worked. After a day of dealing with frogs everywhere, Pharaoh had enough. He called Moses and Aaron and begged them to pray to God to take the frogs away. Moses prayed, and all the frogs died. Pharaoh was relieved, but then he changed his mind and decided not to let the Israelites go.

There were many more plagues that happened after the frogs. Gnats and flies filled the air, all the animals in Egypt got sick and died, the Egyptians had painful sores, hailstorms destroyed the crops, locusts ate everything green, and there was even a time when it was completely dark outside, like nighttime during the day. It was so dark that people couldn't see where they were going.

Each time a plague happened, Pharaoh said he would let the Israelites go if God stopped the trouble. But then he changed his mind. God didn't give up, though. He kept trying to show Pharaoh that He was in charge.

During all these plagues, it only affected Pharaoh, his people, and the Egyptians. The Israelites lived in a different area, and God kept them safe. It was like there was a pretend wall around them, so none of the plagues could come near them.

The last plague was the most terrible one of all. The Lord told Moses and Aaron, "This will be the final plague on Pharaoh and Egypt. After this, they will finally let you go. Around midnight, I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt, even the son of Pharaoh, will pass away, and there will be great sadness." Moses and Aaron warned Pharaoh, but he didn't listen.

God had special instructions for Moses and Aaron to keep the Israelites safe during this last plague. He said, "The Israelites must sacrifice their best sheep or goat. Then they should take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doors of their houses. On that night, I will pass through Egypt like a ghost and take the lives of every firstborn. If I see the blood on the door, I will pass over that house and keep everyone inside safe.

This day will always be remembered as the Passover because God passed over and protected the Israelites. They will celebrate this day for many years." They were also told to eat flat bread without yeast. It would remind them of how quickly they had to leave Egypt.

It's important to remember that Pharaoh could have stopped all the plagues a long time ago. God gave him many chances to let the Israelites go, but he refused to listen. Unfortunately, God had to teach Pharaoh a lesson, and He did what He said He would do.

After Pharaoh realized what happened in Egypt, he called for Moses and Aaron just after midnight and said, "Leave, you and all the Israelites! Go worship the Lord as you wanted. Take your animals and go!" The Israelites collected gold and silver from the Egyptians, who were happy to see them leave. They left with Moses.

When Pharaoh heard that the Israelites had gone, he changed his mind again! He decided to gather more than 600 people and chase after Moses, Aaron, and the Israelites.

As the Israelites were on their way, they saw Pharaoh and his army coming towards them in the distance. They started to get scared and asked Moses why he led them into the desert to die. But Moses knew what to say. He told them, "Don't be afraid. God has protected us before, and He will protect us again."

When the Israelites reached the Red Sea, they were stuck. The sea was in front of them, and Pharaoh's army was coming from behind. But God had a plan. He told Moses to stretch out his staff over the water, and something amazing happened. The water split in two! It stood up high like walls, taller than a house. They could even walk on the dry ground at the bottom of the sea.

Pharaoh's army decided to follow the Israelites into the sea, even though some of the Egyptians were scared and knew that God was on the Israelites' side. After the Israelites had safely crossed, God said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea again, and the water will go back to normal. It will swallow up Pharaoh and his army."

Moses did as God instructed. He reached his staff over the water, and suddenly there was a big crash as the water came together again, covering the Egyptians.

That was the day when the Lord saved the Israelites from the Egyptians. When the Israelites saw what God had done for them, they trusted Him even more. They also knew that Moses would be a great leader as they journeyed towards the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

This story tells us that God is powerful and can do amazing things to protect and save His people. His plans and actions are always for the good of his people, and he can make a way even when there seems to be no way.
