God's Gift to Adam
(Playing ~ "Le Carnaval des Animaux, grande fantaisie zoologique, final," by Saint-Saens)

Adam was walking in the garden and cried out to God,
"You used to walk with me every day.

Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonely here, and it is
difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "I will create a companion for you that will be
with you forever 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 yourself."

And so God created a new animal ....

to be a companion for Adam.

And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam,
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, "Because 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 was a companion to him
and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel
came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled
with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock, and he believes
he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him
that he is loved, but perhaps too well."

And the Lord said, "I will create for him a companion who
will be with him forever and who will see him as he is.
This companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know
that he is not always worthy of adoration."

And so God created CAT ....

to be a companion to Adam.

And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed
into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he
was not the supreme being.

And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.

And Dog was happy

and

Cat didn't give a hoot
one way or the other.
