The Rib...
The young man smiled as he watched the beautiful sunset...quietly disappear...into the happy clouds...beckoning on the yellow moon to resume her duty. It was a sight to behold!
The friendly, evening breeze tickled his fancy and puffed a few hair strands across his face.
The young man walked towards the mango tree and stooped to caress the twin, white rabbits playing catch around the tree trunk.
He stepped on a heap of dry leaves and smiled at the crunchy sound.
The leaves on the tree seemed to hug each other creating a refreshing shade.
He looked up and stretched to pluck a ripe fruit. Then he sat on the trunk and sunk his eager teeth into the succulent fruit.
Hmmm...mangoes!
He shut his eyes as the juice trickled in through the soft, tender, fibers...giving him pure pleasure.
He loved the garden and it was hard to resist the soothing, lush green lawn beside the tree trunk.
The days adventure had been incredibly fun-filled and now he needed to catch his breath.
He sat down on the lawn...leaning on the trunk. At first, the young man nodded his head like an exhausted deer after a tedious hunt, then he lay on the lawn and soon he was deep asleep - just like the log by the fountain.
The Great Physician smiled at His plan.
He had successfully put the young man to sleep - See, He was about to create a masterpiece and needed NO human intervention, interruption or interference, whatsoever.
The physician was known for his surgical expertise and creative prowess. His track record was intimidating...
He smiled as He gently pulled out the rib from the young mans side.
He stared at the rib, awed by what it represented.
He thought about His vision for the rib and smiled... Oh! The splendour, the elegance, the grace, the refreshing candour, the wonder, the distinctiveness, the grandeur!
The rib looked somewhat like a beautifully adorned bow... Like an irresistible arch of colours formed in the soft, blue sky... Like a gorgeously decorated rainbow.
With the rib, He created a masterpiece...a hidden treasure...a rare gem...
Finer than gold, purer than diamond...above rubies... A true wonder!
In His wisdom, He covered the rib with subtle ordinariness of clay...and called her WOMAN.
