Once upon a time, God created a beautiful forest called the Garden of Eden. In this garden he took soil, made a man out of it and breathed life into it. God called him Adam. God brought all the animals of the forest to Adam to name them. Later, God saw that Adam was lonely, so God made Adam sleep and took a rib out of him. He turned that rib into a woman. Adam named the woman Eve. They didn't even know they were naked! God told them they could eat any fruit in the forest, except the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If they ate that fruit, they would die that day. One day, a talking snake asked Eve if they couldn't eat any of the fruit. She said no, just not that fruit, because they would die. The talking snake said they would not die, they would know good and evil. Adam and Eve ate the fruit, saw they were naked, and hid themselves. God came walking through the forest and said where are you? He knew. God made them leave, so they wouldn't eat from the Tree of Life.
