Adam and Eve said, "We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to
remember how much you love us."
And God said, "Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may
be, this new companion will accept you as you and will love you as I do in
spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And God said, "Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of
my love for you, his name shall be a reflection of my own name, and you will
call him DOG.
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged
his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
"Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like
peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "I will create for them a companion who will be with them
forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of
their limitations, so they will know that they are not worthy of adoration."
And god created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not
obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into the cat's eyes, they were
reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility. And they were greatly improved. And God
was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other. |
