...Lord, I have a
problem!
What's the problem, Eve?
Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and
all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just
not happy.
Why is that, Eve? came the reply from above.
Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples.
Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you.
What's a 'man', Lord?
This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous
ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll
give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster and more muscular than you.
He'll also need your advice to think properly. He'll be really good at fighting
and kicking a ball about, hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad
in the sack.
Sounds great, says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. What's the
catch, Lord?
Yeah, well.... you can have him on one condition.
What's that, Lord?
You'll have to let him believe that I made him first.
