Eve
and Adam
One day in the Garden of
Eden, Eve calls out to God, “Lord, I have a problem!”
“What's the problem, Eve?”
“Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this
beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that
hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy.”
“Why is that, Eve?” came the reply from above.
“Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples.”
“Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a
man for you.”
“What's a 'man', Lord?”
“This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive
tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or
listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time.
But, he'll be bigger & faster and more muscular than you.
He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and
hunting fleet-footed ruminants.”
“Sounds great,” says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.
“Yeah, well. He's better than a poke in the eye with a blunt
stick. But, you can only have him on one condition.”
“What's that, Lord?”
“You'll have to let him believe that I made him first.” |
