Eve's Compromise
Eve walked with the Lord and thanked Him
every day for the Beautiful Garden of Eden.

One day, she asked the Creator, "Lord, why
is it that creeping things, and the beasts
of the field, walk two by two but I am
alone?
The Lord answered, "I have only waiting for
you to ask. I have the perfect mate for you.
It is called a man. He will care for you. He
will be the strong and silent type, and he
will be the father of your children. He has
some faults, but I believe your generous
nature will overlook them."
Eve responded, "Oh, thank you, Lord. I have
long wanted a companion like myself. A man
sounds fine."

The Lord said, "Eve, there is one thing you
must do if you truly wish the man as your
life's companion."
"Yes, Lord, I will do whatever you wish,"
the woman quickly answered.
"Remember that I warned you the man has some
faults....One of them is his ego. It will
require something of you."
"Ego, Lord? What will a man's ego require of
me?" asked Eve.

And the Lord said, "You will have to let the
man think that I created him first."
