Features: On the night Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God came to the Garden of Eden and did not see Adam and Eve. He called them out. God questioned Adam why he was hiding. Adam timidly replied, "We were afraid you would see us naked, so we hid." "Naked! Who told you that?" God was astonished. "Did you eat the forbidden fruit?" Adam lowered his head and confessed that Eve had been tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit and give some to him. Upon hearing this, God was furious and cursed Eve, saying, "I will increase the pain of childbirth for you and make you forever dependent on men, who will rule over you." He then cursed Adam, saying, "You shall eat wild plants, and you shall toil all your life until your death!"
