And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased
to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals
in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem.
Because I have created this new animal
to be a reflection of my love for you,
his name will be a reflection of my own name,
and you will call him DOG."
And dog lived with Adam and Eve
and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while,
it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
"Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride.
They strut and preen like peacocks
and they believe they are worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved,
but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion
who will be with them forever
and who will see them as they are.
The companion will remind them of their limitations,
so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT
to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into cat's eyes,
they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned,humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased. And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a darn one way or the other!
