1:           What are you doing?

 

2:           Drawing a picture.

 

3:           A picture?  All I see is scribbling.

 

2:           It’s a picture of a garden.

 

1:           So where are the vegetables?

 

3:           Yes, what is a garden without vegetables?

 

4:           Our garden doesn’t have vegetables, only flowers.

 

2:           My picture is a flower garden, that’s why you can’t see vegetables.

 

4:           Not a good flower garden either, cause I don’t see any flowers.

 

2:           Sure, there are flowers.

 

3, looks carefully at picture:         Nope, I don’t see flowers, only scribbling.

 

2:           Why do you keep saying this is scribbling?  That’s not very nice.

 

1:           2 is right.  Jesus teaches us we need to be nice to each other.

 

4:           You are right, 1, sorry 2.

 

1:           Tell me about your picture, 2.

 

3:           Yes, what kind of garden is it?

 

2:           It’s the Garden of Eden.

 

4:           You mean like in the Bible?

 

1:           My mom read me the story of the Garden of Eden from my Bible.

 

4:           It is a lovely picture, the Garden of Eden must have been  beautiful.

 

3:           What happened in the Garden of Eden?

 

2:           God made Adam and Eve and put them in the garden.

 

4:           They had a good time there.

 

3:           I don’t understand, they aren’t in the picture.

 

1:           Yes, 2, why aren’t they in your picture?

 

2, points to picture:   See that apple tree?

 

3:           You mean that up and down scribble?

 

2:           It is not a scribble, it’s a tree!

 

4:           Tell us about the tree, 2.

 

2:           God made all things and told Adam and Eve to enjoy them.

 

1:           I remember.  God told them not to eat the apple from that tree.

 

3:           Wow, so they stayed away from the tree, right?

 

4:           Actually, no.  Eve ate the apple.

 

3:           After God told her not to?

 

2:           Satan told Eve to do it and she listened to him.

 

3:           Even though she wasn’t supposed to?
