The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with usevery day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it isdifficult for us to remember how much you love us.'
And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you andwho will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me evenwhen you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovableyou may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love youas I do, in spite of yourselves.'
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged histail.
And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdomand I cannot think of a name for this new animal.'
And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my lovefor you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call himDOG.' And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen likepeacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeedtaught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.'
And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them andwho will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of theirlimitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy ofadoration.'
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes,they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased . . . . .
And Dog was happy. . . . .
And Cat didn't give a darn one way or the other.... In God We Trust,
