> > Translation:
> > Genesis 4:
> > 1. Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you
> > walked with me every day. Now I do not see you
> > anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me
> > to remember how much you love me."
> >
> > 2. And God said, "No problem! 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."
> >
> > 3. And 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.
> >
> > 4. 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."
> >
> > 5. And God said, "No problem! 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."
> >
> > 6. And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him
> > and loved him.
> >
> > 7. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And
> > Dog was content and wagged his tail.
> >
> > 8. 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."
> >
> > 9. And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for
> > him a companion who will be with him forever and who
> > will see him as he is. The companion will remind him
> > of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
> > always worthy of adoration."
> >
> > 10. And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam.
> > And Cat would not obey Adam.
> >
> > 11. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was
> > reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam
> > learned humility.
> >
> > 12. And God was pleased.
> >
> > 13. And Adam was greatly improved.
> >
> > 14. And Dog was happy.
> >
> > 15. And the cat didn't care one way or the other."
