One day the world was cruel and evil. Then came along Adam and Eve. They were trying to get the world to become good again.
Adam’s father said, “If you get them to be good again, I will put out the stars and the moon. If they become bad I will take the stars and the moon away. Adam and Eve said, “If you’re bad then our dad will take the sun and stars away, but if you’re good then you will have no problem.”
The next day they were very bad, so Adam’s dad said, “There will be no sun.” And there was no sun. So they were very cold and very sad because they did not have heat. They would be very cold. So they stopped fighting.
Then the stars and the sun came back. So after a while they started to fight again . So Adam’s dad turned some people into rocks .
Some of the people were left, but some were gone and a lot of people were sad because they did not have their family any more. Some of the kids didn't have a dad. Some did not have a mom. Some didn't have wives and some no husbands.
It was mostly the husbands that got turned into the rocks. The family got to keep the rocks in their house so that they could take them to their family like they were really there.
Some of the people became angered because they had no family till they stopped fighting. So they all insisted that they had better stop fighting if they wanted to see their family again. They stopped fighting and their family got to become humans again .
One day they were very bad, so Adam’s father took the stars away. One more time he said, “I will turn every one into rocks.” So Adam said, “If I become bad again I will be forced to tell my father and none of you will we able to see your family till 2050 and I don’t think you would like that.”
Then they agreed that they would not fight ever again. So they stopped fighting and Adam’s dad put out the stars again.
So the people lived in a very large kingdom in the forest and they lived happily ever after . Adam and Eve watched them for many years till they could trust them to be alone. So then Adam and Eve left them alone and let them live by themselves. So their father let them live back with the gods.
