Put your answers on another sheet of BONDPAPER.

God took some clay from the ground and made the shape of a man.  Then He breathed gently
into the shape.  The man's eye's opened and he began to live.  God called him Adam.
The Lord made a beautiful garden for him to live in.  The garden, called Eden, was full of many
wonderful things.  Beautiful flowers grew everywhere.  Birds sang in the trees, streams flowed
through the valley and animals roamed across the fields.
God had made the man in His image to keep Him company and look after the world.
God brought all the animals to Adam one at a time to be given their names.  "Elephant", he
would say, or "Tiger", or "Porcupine".
But God felt sorry for Adam.  "None of these animals is really like him," thought God, "he needs
someone to share his life.  Someone who cares for him and who he can care for."
That night, God took a rib from Adam's side and made a woman.  When Adam awoke the
following morning, he found a wife, Eve, lying asleep beside him.  Adam was so happy.  He took
her hand and she woke up.  She looked up at him and smiled.
God told the man and woman that it was their job to take care of their new home.  God blessed
them, saying, "All this is for you.  Help yourself to anything you like.  But never touch the tree in
the middle of the Garden.  That tree gives knowledge of good and evil.  The day you eat its fruit,
you will die."

God did not mean that Adam and Eve would drop down dead the moment they ate the fruit from
the tree.  He meant that in time they would die with out His Spirit dwelling in them.

One day, Adam and Eve were gathering berries for dinner when she heard a silky voice behind
her.
"Has God told you that you can eat the fruit from all the trees?" the voice asked softly.  Eve
turned around to see a snake talking to her.

"God has told us we can eat all the fruit except for what grows on The Tree of the Knowledge of
Good and Evil," Eve told the serpent.

"Oh come now, that's silly!  I hardly think such a lovely fruit would do you any harm," the serpent
lied. "God knows that if you eat from The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you'll become
just like God, and will be able to decide for yourself what is right and what is wrong."

The woman looked at the fruit and thought how tasty it looked. She thought how wonderful it
would be to be as wise and powerful as God.  She believed the serpent's lie and ate the fruit and
also gave some to Adam, who was with her, and he took a bite as well.
She felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.  She fidgeted and wondered what was wrong
with her.  Suddenly she realized that she was feeling guilty -- she had disobeyed God and knew
she'd done something wrong.
As soon as they ate the fruit a change came over Adam and Eve.  They became unhappy and
fearful of God.
Adam and Eve heard God calling them.  Without thinking, they dived into the bushes, but God
knew where they were.  When God asked them if they had eaten from The Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil that He had told them not to touch, they blamed each other for their
sins.
God was sad that Adam and Eve had disobeyed them.  He told them that they had to leave the
Garden of Eden, "From now on you'll have to scratch a living from the soil.  You'll need to make
clothes and grow food.  Nothing will come easily -- not even childbirth.  And one day, you will
die."

The Monkey and the Turtle

A monkey, looking very sad and dejected, was walking along the bank of the river one day when he
met a turtle.
"How are you?" asked the turtle, noticing that he looked sad.
The monkey replied, "Oh, my friend, I am very hungry. The squash of Mr. Farmer were all taken by
the other monkeys, and now I am about to die from want of food."
"Do not be discouraged," said the turtle; "take a bolo and follow me and we will steal some banana
plants."
So they walked along together until they found some nice plants which they dug up, and then they
looked for a place to set them. Finally the monkey climbed a tree and planted his in it, but as the turtle
could not climb he dug a hole in the ground and set his there.
When their work was finished they went away, planning what they should do with their crop. The
monkey said :
"When my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and have a great deal of money."
And the turtle said: "When my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and buy three varas of cloth to wear in
place of this cracked shell."
A few weeks later they went back to the place to see their plants and found that that of the monkey
was dead, for its roots had had no soil in the tree, but that of the turtle was tall and bearing fruit.
"I will climb to the top so that we can get the fruit," said the monkey. And he sprang up the tree,
leaving the poor turtle on the ground alone.
"Please give me some to eat," called the turtle, but the monkey threw him only a green one and ate all
the ripe ones himself.
When he had eaten all the good bananas, the monkey stretched his arms around the tree and went to
sleep.
The turtle, seeing this, was very angry and considered how he might punish the thief. Having decided
on a scheme, he gathered some sharp bamboo which he stuck all around under the tree, and then he
exclaimed:
"Crocodile is coming! Crocodile is coming!"
The monkey was so startled at the cry that he fell upon the sharp bamboo and was killed.
Then the turtle cut the dead monkey into pieces, put salt on it, and dried it in the sun. The next day, he
went to the mountains and sold his meat to other monkeys who gladly gave him squash in return. As
he was leaving them he called back:
"Lazy fellows, you are now eating your own body; you are now eating your own body."
Then the monkeys ran and caught him and carried him to their own home.
"Let us take a hatchet," said one old monkey, "and cut him into very small pieces."
But the turtle laughed and said: "That is just what I like. I have been struck with a hatchet many times.
Do you not see the black scars on my shell ?"
Then one of the other monkeys said: "Let us throw him into the water."
At this the turtle cried and begged them to spare his life, but they paid no heed to his pleadings and
threw him into the water. He sank to the bottom, but very soon came up with a lobster. The monkeys
were greatly surprised at this and begged him to tell them how to eatch lobsters.
"I tied one end of a string around my waist," said the turtle. "To the other end of the string I tied a
stone so that I would sink."
The monkeys immediately tied strings around themselves as the turtle said, and when all was ready
they plunged into the water never to tome up again.
And to this day monkeys do not like to eat meat, because they remember the ancient story.
