Description Image My notes

1 After Adam and Eve ate

the fruit which God said
not to touch, God told
Adam that people would
now have to work hard
for their food.

2 God sent Adam and Eve

away from the garden of
Eden. Some time later
they had two boys, first
Cain and then Abel.

3 Cain loved to grow

vegetables, but it was
hard work digging in the
hot sun and weeding the
garden.
4 He brought the first of
all the vegetables from
his garden, as a gift to
God. ‘I will show God
what I can do,’ he
thought.

5 Abel looked after the

sheep. He brought his
best little lamb to give
to God. ‘Thank you God
for everything you give
to me,’ he prayed.

6 God saw the love and

thankfulness that was in
Abel’s heart and God
was pleased with the gift
Abel gave to Him.

7 But Cain thought he had

done all the work
himself. He forgot that
everything comes from
God. God wasn’t happy
with his attitude.

8 Cain got angry and

jealous, because he
thought God should like
his gift best. He didn’t
have a thankful attitude
to God.
