The First Sin

In the begining, the universe was shapeless and empty. Nothing had any form or colour. There were no animals, no birds, no people, no blue sky, no earth, no sun.

God created the earth with oceans and dry land. He made the sun to give light during the day, and stars to shine at night. God filled the oceans with fish and the dry land with plants and animals. Last of all, God made Adam and Eve, and gave them the beautiful garden of Eden.

“Everything in this garden is yours,” God said to them, “except the tree of knowledge. You must not eat its fruit.” But a snake in the garden tempted Eve saying, “Eat the fruit. It won’t hurt you. It will make you wise.”

So Eve ate the fruit. Then she gave some to Adam, and he ate it, too. When God found out that Adam and Eve had disobeyed him, He sent them out of the garden of Eden. Then God placed an angel with a flaming sword to guard the entrance to the garden so that they could never return.
