Why things are that way.

Once upon a time 2000 years ago, Adam walked with God in the Garden of Eden. They shared and talked about everything. God was Adam's best friend. Then one fine day, Eve said, "Hey Adam! This fruit, the serpent say it's called apple. He say can eat one! Won't die! " And she points to the serpent. Whose name was Devil. Then Adam replied, "Oi you sure or not? Don't bluff me leh!" Then she merely pointed to the Devil. So Adam decided to heck care, and eat the red juicy fruit that looked so enticing. As he was eating halfway and trying to swallow the fruit, God's light shone from the sky and His face appeared. "Adam, why are you eating the Forbidden fruit that I told you not to touch?! You have disobeyed me!" Then Adam got so shocked and frightened that he choked on the bit of apple he was trying to swallow. Then he dropped the apple onto the ground.

He knew no matter what he said, it was too late. Adam knew he had disobeyed God's command and sinned against God. "Adam, now you and Eve cannot remain in my garden anymore. And the bit of apple you swallowed will remain in your throat as a reminder to you of your sin against me. So I will not let you die from it, but it will remain there, even for all your sons when they finally become a real man. Now leave!" God uttered. So Adam and Eve had no choice but to leave the Garden of Eden. They made themselves some clothes out of animal skin so that they can keep their bodies covered. They went out to the fields, laboured, planted crops and Eve continue making clothes and also cooked. This went on for awhile. Everyday, Adam would look into the reflection of the river. Adam's Apple always remained there.

Adam was bored with the two person life with Eve. He needed someone else there for him. Someone that can be his best friend. Just like how God was there for him. So he prayed to God to give him a best friend. Then God sent an animal, a brown, short furred animal with 4 legs, and floppy ears. Eve got excited. "Adam look! There's an animal at our doorstep! Come see!" Then Adam abandoned his work in the backyard and went to the doorstep.

Good Lord! My prayers have been answered! "You prayed for a companion? Life with me alone very boring is it?" Eve questioned him but Adam managed to change the topic. "Eh, so what should we name him?" He smiled so sweetly that she forgot about what happened a little earlier. "Ya huh! Shall we name him after God? Since he has been caring for us so much. Look at our crops! They multiply and keep on mutiplying till we have so much food!" Then Adam thought for a while and said, "Nah, we will name him Dog. Which is the opposite of God. This animal will never be as good as God, but he shall be my best friend. Just like how God is my best friend who will always be there watching over us." then he looked over to the animal and it wagged it's tail at the couple.

So Eve shouted jubilantly at the animal. "Dog, come here!" And it barked twice, then followed the couple into the house. And they lived happily ever after.

The End.
