Background piano
music playing. When God created
the world, he made the sun the moon, and the stars. He separated the
water from the land. He built the mountains
and the forests. He made different kinds
of plants and flowers. He created them in
different sizes shapes and colours Background piano
music playing! He also made all the animals, big……
and small. He created the fish that
would swim in the sea, and birds that could
fly in the sky. He created small insects
that could fly and crawl. He was very pleased with
whatever he had created. Then after he
created everything, he felt he needed
somebody who would look after his
creation He then created the
first man from the mud He breathed life into him…… and named him Adam. Backgound music playing, Where am I? Who are you? You are in my garden, the garden of Eden. I am your creator, your Lord. You can live in my
garden all your life. You will enjoy all
the beautiful things I created for you and take care of them. That’s nice. But how
did I get here? You are here because I
chose to have you here. You have been created
in my likeness. You have powers
over everything I have created on earth. You are the master
of everything and you will take care
of them like your own. This is my wish and
my design. I am so hungry. Can I have something
to eat? My garden is filled
with trees and plants with the most delicious
fruits of all kinds. You are free to eat the
fruits of any tree here, except for the tree
that stands in the middle of the
garden. That tree….
is called the tree of knowledge. If you eat that fruit, you will die. Background piano
music playing. God had created everything
from the trees, the plants, the animals, and the birds but he had not
named them. So, he asked Adam
to name them. Adam named them
one by one. Adam felt alone. Nothing that God had
created could be partner So God made
Eve. Background piano
music playing One day when Adam
was sleeping he created Eve
out of his rib. Eve proved to be the right
companion for Adam. Of all the creatures that
God created on earth, the snake was the most evil
and clever of them all. Backgroung music
playing One day, when Adam was tending the garden the snake went over to Eve and started talking
to her. Hello Eve. Hello, Who are you? I have never seen any
animals speak here! Oh! I have been in this garden before you and Adam
came along. None of the animals talk
because they believe Adam to be the
master of them all, so they are afraid to ask. God only speaks to you. He loves you more
than any of us! Oh, I see, and you are not afraid? No I am not. I think you are
good and kind. I am amazed by your knowledge
and your strength. I can see why God made
you in his image. Ok, that’s nice. So, what was it that
you wanted to ask me? I was just wondering… You eat every fruit
from this garden except the one from the tree
in the middle of the garden. Why is that? Adam told me that God has told us
to not eat the fruit of that tree. He said, if we eat that
fruit, we will die. I don’t think that is true. I think God knows that if you
eat the fruit from that tree, you will become wiser and
stronger, more like God. I don’t know about that. the fruit sure
looks tasty, and it smell good too! Yes… yes…. It looks amazing, and I’m sure it tastes better than anything
you have had before. But
I wonder if ……. Background
Music Playing. I don’t think anything will
go wrong if you eat it. Go ahead…. Try it. Piano music plaing in
background It sure is a wonderful day. I found a new kind of fruit
in the garden today. I think I’ll call it a melon. Back ground
music playing That’s great! I like the way you
name these fruits. Adam, I wonder why
God asked us not to eat this fruit. They look so nice
and plump…. And they smell so
good too! Back ground
music playing I don’t know Eve, but God said we would
die if we eat it. We should listen
to what he says. I think that’s not true. If this fruit was so
poisonous and bad, why would he put it in the
middle of the garden, right where we can pluck it?? I’m sure it’s some
kind of a trick anywayWhy do you worry so much? We have so many other
fruits that we can eat When God gave us
this warning there should be some
reason behind it. We should just stay
away from it. Hmm... yes, but I don’t think it
would hurt to take a little nibble, would it? I would love to
know how it tastes I don’t think God
going to notice. background piano
music playing Saying so, Eve stood up and plucked the bright red shiny fruit
from the Tree of Knowledge. She looked at it,
admiring its beauty. She then looked at Adam and
took a bite from the fruit. Piano music She then gave the fruit to Adam and
asked him to take a bite as well. Back ground
music playing Adam took a bite from it. He smiled at Eve. Background music
Playing Together they
finished the fruit. Back ground music playing Adam and Eve were
sleeping under the tree in the center of the garden
when they heard God’s voice Background
music playing When they woke up,
they were afraid, They felt guilty…. and full of shame. They tried to hide themselves
behind the bushes. Adam, where are you? Eve… why are you trying
to hide from me? Sorry my father, we are naked and we wish
to cover ourselves. Backgroun
music Playing But how did you know
that you are naked? You were naked before and you were never ashamed Why do you have
such a feeling now? I don’t know
father. Did you eat the fruit of
the tree of knowledge in the center of the garden? The one I told you
not to eat from? Forgive me my father!! Eve gave it to me and I ate it! I am sorry I
disobeyed you my God Background
music playing Eve, why did you do this? why did you do this? God, the snake tricked
me into eating it. I was confused, I did not
know what I was doing! I’m sorry my God! I gave you everything that
you would possibly need. Anything that your heart would
desire is available in this garden. I gave you only one
rule to follow. But you disobeyed me. You have both failed me. Forgive us Forgive us my lord! We will not make
any more mistakes. Forgive us this one last time! We were unaware of
the consequences. We thought it was
just another tree! It was not my fault. It was the snake
that confused us. The snake will get his
share of punishment. That does not mean you are free from the consequences
of disobeying me. Why did you find it so difficult
to follow just one rule?? You had everything else in
this garden for yourself No…. once you have eaten the fruit
of the tree of Knowledge, you can no longer stay
in the garden of Eden. You now know what is
wrong and what is right. You must leave the
garden at once, and live the rest of
your life on earth. But what will we
do there my Lord? You will have to work hard, suffer, and grow your food
from the soil of the earth. You will suffer
pain and sadness, and finally one
day, you must die. That is your punishment. Now go!! Back ground
music Playing Adam and Eve
disobeyed God, and they were cast out
of the Garden of Eden. They now had to very
work hard to grow food. They had to build a
house for shelter, and they eventually
were going to die! They could have lived in
the paradise forever, if they had obeyed God’s rule!
