The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we

were in the garden, you walked with

us every day. Now we do not see

you any more. We are lonesome

here, and it is difficult for us to

remember how much you love us.'

And God said, I will create a

companion for you that will be

with you and who will be a

reflection of my love for you,

so that you will love me even

when you cannot see me.

Regardless of how selfish or

childish or unlovable you may be,

this new companion will accept

you as you are and will love you

as I do, inspite 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 his tail.

And Adam said, 'Lord, I have

already named all the animals

in the Kingdom and 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 love for you, his name will

be a reflection of my own name,

and you will call him DOG.'

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 like peacocks

and they believe they are worthy of

adoration. Dog has indeed taught

them that they are loved,

but perhaps too well.'

And God said, I will create for them a

companion who will be with them

and who will see them as they are.

The companion will remind them

of their limitations,

so they will know that they are

not always worthy of adoration.'

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 shit one way or the other.
