A newly discovered chapter in the
Book of Genesis has provided
the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
|
 Adam
and
Eve said,
"Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with
us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are
lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to
remember how much you love us."
|
And God said, I will create a companion for you that
will be with you and who will be a reflection of my
love for you, so that you will love me even when you
cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish
or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in
spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a
companion for
Adam and
Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with
Adam and
Eve and he
wagged his tail.
|
|
 |
|
And
Adam said,
"Lord, I have already named all the animals in the
Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new
animal."
And God said, " I have created this new animal to be
a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a
reflection of my own name, and you will call him
DOG."
|
|
 |
|
And Dog lived with
Adam and
Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
|
|
 |
|
And God was pleased.
|
|
And Dog was content
and wagged his tail.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a while, it came to
pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord,
Adam and
Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and
preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy
of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they
are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, I will create for them a companion who
will be with them and who will see them as they are.
The companion will remind them of their limitations,
so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration."
And God created
CAT to
be a companion to
Adam and
Eve.
|
|
 |
 |
|
And Cat would not
obey them. And when
Adam and
Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that
they were not the supreme beings.
|
|
|
|
And
Adam and
Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
|
|
And God was pleased
