My daughter Maria, aged 5, narrated this story recently in Boston and PA for her Sunday school storytelling competitions:
"Respected elders, and my dear friends, I am here to tell you a story about Adam and Eve. The title of the story is 'Man's Disobedience and God's love'. The story is taken from the Book of Genesis which is the first book in the Bible.
In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve and placed them in a beautiful garden called Eden. One day Satan came to Eve in the form of a snake. Satan called "Eve, Eve". Eve said, "Hi". Satan and Eve soon became good friends. Sometimes Adam also joined in their conversation and the three of them became very good friends.
One day Satan asked "Did God tell you not to eat the fruit from that tree?" "Yes", said Eve,"If you eat the fruit from that tree, you will die!" "Oh, you won't die!", said Satan. Satan went to the tree, plucked a fruit, ate it himself, plucked another and gave to Eve. Eve ate it and also gave it to Adam.
They realized that it was indeed delicious. They also realized that they had disobeyed God. And Satan disappeared.
They said to each other,"What do we do now?" "Lets go hide!"
In the evening, God came to the garden and called "Adam, Adam, where are you?" Adam answered "We are hiding, God. We disobeyed you!" God was very angry. He drove them out of the garden and placed angels to guard the garden of Eden.
But God still loved them. Many years later, He came down Himself to live with them, so that He could take them back to the garden of Eden and live happily with them ever after.
The moral of the story is - Be careful what kind of friends you make, because sometimes, even Satan tries to become your friend. Thank you."
