It seems God noticed Adam was despondent1. So the Lord God said, "Adam, come over here and sit down!". And Adam did so.
"Adam," spoke2 the Creator, "I see your countenance3 is fallen and you seem to feel rotten and lonely." Adam said nothing in
response. "So," continued the Lord, "I am going to create an alternate person who will be with you!" Adam just looked puzzled but interested. "This person," said the Lord, "will take all the raw and tasteless food that you are currently ruining and will prepare wonderful, spicy4, and tasty dishes."
Adam looked grateful. "This person, "said the Lord, "will be beautiful to behold5 and graceful6 and interesting to watch as she walks." Adam looked thoughtful. "This person, "emphasized the Lord,"will be able to satisfy all those dreams that you currently are having!" Adam really looked believed. "And, lastly," said the Lord, "She will obey your every whim7 and desire and order with cheerfulness." Adam was really impressed and finally spoke.
"O.K., Lord, but what is this going to cost me?" "An arm and a leg," said the Almighty8.
"Well," Adam then said, "What can I get for a rib9?"
