A mother in Worcester, Mass., who had orthodox views, had tcld her children chil-dren the Garden of Eden story. The children were greatly impressed. One afternoon, returning from, town, the mother found the palms and ferns had j disappeared from the veranda. Going Into the darkened living-room she saw s one of the boys, minus clothing, re- . clining under a big fern, while anoth er, equally clothless, was standing by a palm. They enlightened her by explaining ex-plaining that they were playing Ad-. Ad-. am and Eve in the-garden. At that minute her youngest boy, not three, came into the room as nature na-ture had first given him to the world, except that he wore a silk hat on his head and carried -a cane. "And pray who are you?" asked the mother. The little one looked up at her and smiled as he said: "I am the Lord Dod Almighty, walking in the darden In the tool of the day." |
