A Lesson From Genesis

The Book of Genesis proves a value when It shows us that man's problems Come form his desire to know. If the plant that bore the fruit That caused the rift In the garden Was a tree possessing, "The knowledge of good and evil," Then we have learned that knowing can be a dangerous thing. However, the males of our tribe Should be pretty grateful. They can always recall That it was the woman Who introduced the fruit to the man. Then again, men learn nothing alone.
