After the Beginning the Play: in the Garden Sue L. Adkins

No one knows what went on in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were sent away forever. What happened to the animals? Who took care of them? It must have been a scary time. This is the first of a series of stories about the three animal friends. In this story they decide to go to a far away, forbidden place. There they meet a scary monster. Two escape and one is captured. Village friends must go to the rescue. We learn that we should not accept everything we see; and we must not listen to those who try to get us to do wrong. When we do it can lead to big trouble. We have to stay strong and do what is right. This play shows us why it is good to obey and tell the truth. We must pray, and be ready to forgive. Examples are told in story and songs. We pray these lessons will become part of the lives of all who read, perform, see, and hear this work. We hope it makes you think and influences you and others in a positive way.
