Reading Notes, Adam and Eve, Part A

-

 Adam was the first man to be created by God  in his likeness. Adam had a first wife named Lilith before Eve. Lilith wanted the same equality as Adam, but of course because she was a woman she wasn't granted that :(. She ran away from him and did not return. 

Eve was enticed by a serpent to eat fruit from a tree that God had forbidden them to eat from. She also gave the fruit to Adam.

  There were once two kids who lived on the same street, Adam and Lilith. Their parents were all best friends and they were practical raised together. Both were raised to be intelligent and witty. Adam and Lilith's parents always joked that they were destined to be together. As they grew up Adam always demanded that he was better than Lilith since he was taller and faster than her. Lilith hated this. She always felt like she was destined for something bigger. When middle school time arrived, Adam and Lilith carpooled together since they lived so close.
