Where did we come from? II

Upon returning home, the family was exhausted from their journey, which had been prolonged by a traffic jam.

As soon as they stepped inside, the little boy rushed to the cookie jar, eager to grab a treat. However, just as he was about to pick a cookie, his father gently reminded him, "Son, is it time for a cookie?"

The little boy's face fell as he replied, "No, Dad." He sighed, "I wish I could have cookies anytime I want!"

His father, sensing an opportunity to continue the story of creation, asked, "Do you remember the story Mum told you in the car about Adam and Eve?"

The little boy nodded, still looking a bit down. "There's more to the story. Would you like to hear the rest?" his father asked, offering him a warm cup of milk tea.

The little boy's face brightened slightly as he replied, "I guess I can listen to a good story while I drink my milk."

His father smiled and began, "As Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, God gave them a special instruction. There was a particular tree in the garden that they were not allowed to eat from."

The little boy's curiosity was piqued. "What tree was it? Was it a mango tree?" he asked.

His father chuckled and continued, "Well, we don’t know the specific type of tree, but what we know it was the tree in the middle of the garden. Adam and Eve were warned not to eat from it, or something bad would happen."

As the little boy finished his milk tea, his father realized it was time for bed.

He promised to finish the story in the morning, and the little boy nodded, already looking forward to hearing the rest.
