bad snake!

·

Anna recently dictated a "familiar" story to me.  I wrote down her rendition and then she drew the accompanying illustration:

Do you know Satan?  Satan is a very bad snake.  He could have done the right thing, but he didn’t.  And he did something very bad.  God said you’re gonna crawl on your belly forever.  Snakes don’t like to crawl on their belly.  You should always listen to God.  Satan gave the wrong fruit to Adam & Eve.  They should have ate the other fruit.  God sent them away from that beautiful garden.  They traveled far through dust.  Adam planted food to eat.  They made a tent for warm health.

From left to right we see the "bad fruit" tree, the angel protecting it, the good fruit trees, the "gate" and then Adam & Eve.  Adam evidently built a tent outside of the garden as seen in the triangular structure to the right.  The tent was built for "warm health" sounds a bit like Chinglish to me.  The snake (who already looks a little trampled) is at the bottom of the picture (in the garden.)

    She started teaching before she left for China and she just keeps getting better. We prefer being in her classroom when she is teaching but these internet class are the way of the future. I am sure all of the couses she teaches fill up fast so let us know when to expect the next one. We love you Anna-banana.

  3. Love the story retold by Anna! Priceless…

  4. Too cute! She’s been taught well!
