aussie, I’m lost.
One day, eight-year-old Melissa says to her mother, “Mommy, I’ve been thinking
about us humans and I’m a bit puzzled. How did we first appear on Earth?”
“That’s a very good question, darling,” her mother replies. “God made Adam and
Eve and they had children and then their children had children, and as a result,
mankind began.”
Later that day, Melissa asks her father the same question. “Daddy, how did we
humans first appear on earth?”
“That’s an intelligent question, Melissa,” he replies. “Millions of years ago
there were monkeys from which, gradually, the human race evolved.”
Melissa is confused by this answer and goes ba
ck to her mother. “Mommy,” she
asks, “how come you told me the human race was created by God, yet daddy said
they developed from monkeys?”
“Well darling,” replies her mother, smiling, “the answer is simple. I told you
about my side of the family and your father told you about his.”
