ir. There was gold there, and the onyx stone. Adamwas gardener and caretaker. Yet no hard work tired him.Adam gave names to all the animals. From all the fruittrees he could eat. Oh, what happiness! for God Himselfoften came and talked to Adam. He was his friend andhelper. But Adam was alone in the garden. So God said: It isnot good that the man should be alone. I will make him ahelp. Then God put Adam into a deep sleep. And lo!when he awoke, there stood a woman that God had made.She became the wife of Adam. Would you like to know hername? She was called Eve. How happy were now Adamand Eve, friends of God, in the garden of Eden, that beau-tiful Paradise! They were like God, in His own image andlikeness.

BIBLE PRIMER 11 3. THE FIRST SIN. As long as Adam and Eve did not touch the forbidden treethey were happy. One day Eve came to the tree. She looked at it long. Themore she looked, the more pleased she was with the fruit.As she stood there she saw a serpent coiled around the tree.And the serpent said to Eve: Has God really said that youmay not eat of any tree in the garden? Eve answered:Of this tree God has said: You shall not eat of it. Or youmust die/ But the serpent said they would be like God,if they ate of it. Eve looked at the tree again. She stretched forth herhand to the forbidden tree. She took the fruit, ate it, andgave to Adam. He ate, too. The first sin was done. Then Adam and Eve hid in the garden. They were afraidof God. And God called to Adam: Where are you ? Adamsaid, I was afraid, and I hid myself. And God said, Didyou eat of the forbidden fruit? And Adam said that Evegave the fruit to him. But Eve excused herself, saying thatthe serpent told her to take of the fruit.
