Reference: Genesis 2
Story Summary:
God created everything that exists just by speaking. But when he made human beings, he did something special.
He took the dust of the ground and formed it into the shape of a man. Then he breathed the breath of life onto the dust-man and he became a living being. His name was Adam.
God said that it was not good for Adam to be alone. He brought all the animals to Adam, to see if one of them would be a helper fit for him. When they came, Adam named them all. But not one was fit to be Adam’s helper.
So God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God took one of Adam’s ribs and closed up his side. He formed the rib into a woman and brought ther to Adam. Adam was excited to have a helper made especially for him. He later gave her the name “Eve.”
