Adam and Eve

A Sunday School teacher in the island of Luing was
giving a lesson on the disobedience of Adam and Eve,
and the fruit of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
brought death into this world, and other ills. At the
close of his harangue, which was rather above the heads
of the children, he said, “Can any of you tell me
how the Creator knew that Adam had eaten the apple?”
There was silence for a time. At last one boy, with a
glimmer of light in his eyes, shouted : “ Please, sir,
because He saw the peelings below the tree.”
