Adam and Eve

After creating the world, God fashion Adam in His own image, and gave him dominion over every living thing that was on the earth, and made every tree and herb to bring forth fruit for him.  But even in the amazing paradise in which Adam lived, he was lonesome for compaionship which nothing that God had yet made could supply.  Of all the creatures, Adam alone was without a mate to share the pleasure of Eden with him.

God had compassion on Adam, and caused him to fall into a deep sleep.  While Adam slept, a rib was taken from his side, which God fashioned into a woman, and when Adam awoke, the most beautiful of all God's creatures stood before him to be his companion for life.

Adam and Eve lived joyfully in the garden, enjoying every fruit and flower.  But within this oasis was a sepent tempter, who was more cunning than any beast of the field. He came to Eve, assuming the appearance of one wise, and tricked her into eating fruit from the forbidden tree, which she then persuaded Adam to eat as well. When God discovered what Adam and Eve had done, he cursed them  and drove them out of Eden.
