ADAM'S RIB

ADAM WAS WALKING AROUND THE GARDEN OF EDEN

FEELING VERY LONELY, SO GOD ASKED ADAM,

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?” 

ADAM SAID, “LORD, I DON’T HAVE ANYONE TO TALK TO.” 

GOD SAID, “THEN I WILL GIVE YOU A COMPANION

AND SHE WILL BE CALLED A ‘WOMAN’.

THIS PERSON WILL COOK FOR YOU AND WASH YOUR CLOTHES,

SHE WILL ALWAYS AGREE WITH EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE.

SHE WILL BEAR YOUR CHILDREN AND NEVER ASK YOU

TO GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

SHE WILL NOT NAG YOU AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE FIRST

TO ADMIT SHE WAS WRONG WHEN YOU’VE HAD A DISAGREEMENT.

SHE WILL NEVER HAVE A HEADACHE AND WILL FREELY GIVE

‘LOVE’ AND COMPASSION WHENEVER NEEDED.

SHE WILL NEVER QUESTION YOUR BEHAVIOUR

OR THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.

SHE WILL SUPPORT YOU AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU

HAVE IMPORTANT DECISIONS TO MAKE THROUGHOUT

YOUR LIFE AND DON’T HAVE TIME FOR NONSENSE…” 

ADAM ASKED GOD, “WHAT WILL THIS WOMAN COST?” 

GOD SAID, “AN ARM AND A LEG…” 

ADAM SAID,

“WHAT CAN I GET FOR JUST A RIB?”
