At the beginning of time, God created Eden. He thought making Adam and Eve would be too much work, so using all he could, he created a Trollan wizard named Orko, and a lioness cub named Furaha. He placed them in this beautiful garden so they can live in harmony with nature and its beauty - they’ve come to appreciate it more than anyone else in this world, and they loved it very much.
Every day, they would play with their animal friends. They would slide down giraffe’s necks, ride on elephants’ backs, learn to climb trees like the monkeys and run free with the wild stallion. When they were hot, they swam in the lake, splashing each other and relaxing in its cool, inviting depths. The waters of Eden were pure and healing, and whenever our friends got hurt, they would go to the lake for a swim to heal scars or bruises. They would play games in this beautiful garden too - hide and seek and tag are their favourites. Sometimes they involved all the animals, who were more than happy to join them. They shared and ate any fruit they wanted from every tree, each supple and tender berry they ate was theirs to taste - except the Tree Of Knowledge Of Good & Evil. God put a fence around the tree to make sure Furaha and Orko don’t go anywhere near the tree, and they obeyed his words wisely. When the duo were tired, they would take long naps in the grass, snuggled together like two bears in a cave.
At night, they would go to their soft, perfumed bed of flowers and fall fast asleep amongst their colours, safe in the knowledge that God will always be there to protect them and their garden forever.
