“Eve, it’s such a beautiful day; let’s go for a walk in the garden.”
“That sounds good, Adam!”
“Adam could we check out those two magnificent trees in the center of the garden? They are so beautiful in this light this time of the day. They just glow so radiantly with the warm sunshine glittering through their branches. What intriguing shadows they cast.”
“Sure, whatever you say my beloved. I love being with you wherever we are. I am so glad God created you for me. I was so lonesome before you. Say, I wonder if I gave up another rib, would God make me another woman?”
“Don’t even think of it big boy! You got your work cut out for you right here.”
“Just kidding, my precious, how could I ask for anything more?”
“Oh, look Adam, there they are. They are so beautiful; I just love to look at them. The Tree of Life is so wonderful, Adam. Look at it radiate like silken shades of dew. We eat of it and live forever. God is so good. And the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil looks especially fine today. Why look, it’s that enchanter, the Serpent; I believe he wants to talk with me.”
“My, Eve, you certainly look good today. I have some great news for you; you can eat from this tree! Listen to logic, God lied to you…not only will you not die from eating the forbidden fruit, but it looks and tastes so good you just have to try it! You will gain the same wisdom God has, and that’s a good thing.”
“Well, you make it sound so good…maybe just a little bite…hum, delicious! Adam, you have just got to taste this; it is the best thing I have ever eaten.”
“I don’t know Eve, God’s only rule for us is that we don’t eat of that tree.”
“Come on Adam, don’t you love me?”
“You know I do Eve. You are the only girl for me.”
“Funny, now take a bite for me, or you can sleep with the lions tonight.”
“Oh, alright! Wow…it is delicious and so sweet…ohhhh…wait a minute, something weird is happening to me. Eve, we have made a big mistake breaking God’s rule. What’s this? I am naked…and so are you! How embarrassing! Quick, lets cover ourselves with these leaves. What have we done?”
“It’s all my fault, Adam! I am so sorry!”
“No Eve, God placed all things under my dominion. You offered, but I accepted knowing better. Oh no…did you hear that sound, Eve?”
“What sound, Adam…oh…oh, I hear, I hear Him coming!”
“Lets hide Eve. I know we are in a lot of trouble and I got a sick feeling we can’t get out of the mess we made by breaking Gods only rule for us. Surely, this disobedience on our part will affect all our descendants for all times.”
“No! Adam, no…uh, Adam what are descendants?”
“You will find out soon Eve, but for now I feel like we aren’t long for the garden. Better start packing!”
“Oh, Adam…would you and Eve show yourselves right now, I have something to discuss with you!”
Rule number one; don’t break rule number one!
