In the beginning, God created the world. He created a man named Adam and a woman named Eve. He placed them in the garden of Eden.  God said, “You can eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of knowing good and bad. If you do, you will die.”
	One day Satan pretended to be a snake and he talked to Adam and Eve. He wanted to trick them into thinking God’s words were not true. The snake (Satan) said, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden?’”
	Eve said, “We can eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of knowing good and bad. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it, or you will die.’” 
	Satan wanted Adam and Eve to choose to do what they wanted to do instead of obeying God. The snake (Satan) said, “No. God knows that when you eat the fruit, you will be like Him, knowing good and bad.”


Satan Tricked Adam and Eve

In the beginning, God created the world. He made a man named Adam and a woman named Eve. They lived in a beautiful garden called Eden. God told them they could eat from any tree except one. This tree was called the tree of knowing good and bad.

The Beautiful Garden

One day, Satan pretended to be a snake. He slithered up to Adam and Eve. The snake asked, 'Did God really say you can’t eat from any tree in the garden?' Eve replied, 'We can eat from any tree except the tree of knowing good and bad. God said we must not eat it or even touch it, or we will die.'

The Sneaky Snake

Satan wanted Adam and Eve to disobey God. The snake said, 'No, you won’t die. God knows that when you eat the fruit, you will be like Him, knowing good and bad.' Eve looked at the fruit. It seemed tasty and good to make one wise.

The Big Lie

Eve took the fruit and ate it. She gave some to Adam, and he ate it too. Suddenly, they felt ashamed and knew they had disobeyed God. They hid from God when He came to the garden. God was sad because they didn’t listen to Him.
