Cain and Abel

               Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Abel was in charge of keeping the flocks and had Cain the agriculture. Cain had offered the Lord fruits and Abel fat portions from the firstborn of his flock. Once the Lord looked at Abel in favor Cain became jealous which then led Cain to murder Abel. The Lord confronted Cain of his treachery and banished him from the land as well as marking him with a curse of no one who finds him can kill him. The chapter then goes on to elaborate on Cain’s family as well as stating that Adam and Eve were given another son, Seth, in place of Abel

               My brother loves telling stories about me when I was little and they mostly revolve around how he teased me. He would pants me, steal my food, and put the remote above his head so I couldn’t reach it. Heck, he still steals and food and puts the remote out of reach. One of his favorites to tell, and one that I remember, takes place when I was in elementary school. It was Staff Appreciation Day at UK and my mom brought home a slice of pizza, a bag of chips some Mountain Dew, and a packet M&Ms for me. I ran off to do something and when I came back it was all gone. My brother had. Refusing to believe he ate my food I rummaged through the remnants and triumphantly held up an open packet of M&Ms. But once I peered inside... Nothing was in it. He even ate the M&Ms. It was a dark, dark afternoon.
