Why They Lost Their Home

SEE what's happening now. Adam and Eve are being put out of the beautiful garden of Eden. Do you know why?

It is because they did something very bad. And so Jehovah is punishing them. Do you know the bad thing Adam and Eve did?

They did something God told them not to do. God told them they could eat food from the trees of the garden. But from one tree God said not to eat, or else they would die. He kept that tree as his own. And we know 9it is wrong to take something that belongs to someone else, don't we!  Well, what happened? 

One day when Eve was alone in the garden, a snake spoke to her. Think of that!  It told Eve to eat fruit from the tree from which God told them not to eat. Now,, when Jehovah made snakes he did not make them so they could talk. So this only mean that someone else was making the snake speak, Who was that?
