Garden of Eden - Revised Edition

[Amy P]

After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve.

"So, how is everything going?" inquired God.

"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied, "the sunrises and

sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is

wonderful, but I have just this one problem.

It is these breasts that you have given me. The middle one pushes

the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms,

catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a

real pain," reported Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since

many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs,

eyes, ears, etc., she felt that having only two breasts might leave

her body more "symmetrically balanced," as she put it.

"That is a fair point," replied God, "but it was my first shot at

this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that

you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will

fix it up right away." And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.

Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in

the Garden of Eden. "Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?"

"Just fantastic," she replied, "but for one oversight on your part.

You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the

cow has her bull; all the animals have a mate except me. I feel so

alone."

God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right.

How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will

immediately create a man from a part of you.

Now let's see....where did I put that worthless boob?"
