When God created Adam and Eve,
he loved them above
everything else he ever made.
He gave them the most
beautiful garden to live in and the
tastiest fruits to eat.
However,
one day they disobeyed God’s rule.
God got angry at them and asked them
to leave the Garden of Eden.
Back ground music playing.
They were very sad and felt sorry
for what they did.
Background music playing,
I loved you
as my own
and gave you everything
you would ever needed,
Background music playing
yet you failed me by disobeying me.
I am very disappointed
in you.
You must now leave this garden
and live on earth

In the next few years,
Eve gave birth to two sons.
Cain was their firstborn
and Abel was their second son.
They loved their sons
like God taught them to love
Background music playing
hey both grew up to become strong
and handsome young men.

Father! Father! Look,
we have two newborn lambs.
They are so naughty!…
look at them!
God has blessed your flock
Abel.
You have taken good care of them,
and they are healthy and thriving.
I’m so proud of you.
Background music playing
While Cain looked after the fields,
Abel looked after the sheep.
Abel was a kind young man
who loved his parents
and his elder brother.
Cain was jealous of Abel as he grew up
he felt his parents did not love him
as much as they loved Abel.
Background music playing
Adam told his sons how he was proud
of his sons
and their hard work.
He instructed both of them
to offer a sacrifice to God to thank him,
and to seek his blessings.
I will give the Lord
our newborn lamb as an offering.
I will give the lord a worthy offering too Father.
I am sure he will be pleased.
So be it my sons
Get your offerings ready,
we will offer them tomorrow at sunrise
In the night
Are you really going to offer the new born lamb
as offering to the Lord?
Yes brother,
I want to give my best to the Lord
After all,
all that we’ve got actually belongs to him.
It would be my pleasure
to sacrifice the lamb for God.
Listen Abel, this is just silly.
Have you ever seen God?
Or heard him?
Father is simply telling you
all these stupid stories
so that you behave well.
Don’t waste your newborn lamb as an offering.
Place an old sheep
that is about to die anyway.
You will be wiser
if you listen to my words.
I am offering some dried up fruits
that I was going to get rid of
I don’t think that is the right thing to do brother.
We would be disobeying our parents
if we offered the Lord
anything lesser than our best.
Whatever you do,
I am going to offer my best lamb tomorrow
The next day,
Cain and Abel did as their parents
had instructed them,
and placed their offering for the God
When Cain placed his offering on the fire
the fire died down.
When Abel offered his new born lamb,
the fire grew back to life and enveloped it,
consuming it instantly.
This was a sign that
God had accepted Abel’s offering
and rejected Cain’s.

Adam asked Cain
why he always looked unhappy.
He told him to love his brother
He told Cain that God loved them equally
Cain promised his father that he would take care of his brother
and love him always.
Background music playing
Eve was worried about how Cain was
constantly bullying his brother.
She told Abel that although it
looked like Cain was angry at him,
Cain actually loved him and was only
trying to keep him safe.
Eve told Abel to
love and respect his elder brother,
and to be patient with him.
Abel reassured his mother that she
need not be worried
and that he would always love and respect Cain.
Eve was very happy to hear this.
She felt lucky to be the mother of
such a wonderful boy!
Background Music playing.
Cain,
what are you brooding over?
You seem to be unhappy about something.
Background music playing
Who is that? I can’t see you.
Where are you?
Come forward at once
Background music playing
No need to be afraid Cain.
I don’t hide from anybody.
I’m always here,
never absent.
I am whatever you see around you.
I made you.
I am your Lord.
Lord?
How come I have never heard you before?
And why do you speak to me now My Lord?
Ive been noticing you since you were born.
I have seen your childhood,
I have seen you grow into a man and go through your life.
I know you Cain.
Your thoughts are troubling you.
They do not make you happy.
Why are you sad?
Nothing my Lord. I am just tired and
getting some rest after working in the fields.
You can hide nothing from me,
not even your thoughts.
Make peace with your brother,
make peace with yourself.
He has never meant any harm to you.
He wish nothing but your happiness.
I am here to warn you
that you are straying on to the path
of great evil.
You must return to the path of
righteousness and be a worthy brother,
and a good son to your parents
Go Now.
No music
But the evil in Caine’s mind grew as days passed by.
One day he decided to get rid of his brother
Why did you call me out to the field?
Where are you taking me?
Come with me brother,
I want to show you something,
it’s not far.
We’re almost there.
They walked into the field,
and Cain took him to a spot
where he had tied up one of his brother’s sheep.
Cain’s expression changed suddenly,
and he asked his brother
You think you are wiser than me now?
Just because you seem to be everybody’s
favorite boy and God’s chosen one,
it doesn’t mean you can be disrespectful to me.
I have no reason to like and accept everything you do.
Background music playing
Cain takes a huge rock he hits Abel on the head using all his force.
Oh my God!
What will I tell Father and Mother?
Cain, in a spite of anger,
had killed his own brother!
He didn’t know what to do,
so dug a hole,
and hid his brothers body in it.
Cain,
where is Abel?
He is supposed to have come home by now.
How should I know?
I am not his keeper.
I have not seen him mother.
Go look for him Cain.
You are his brother.
Go at once and bring him home
As you wish father.
Background music playing
Cain…
my son,
where are you going?
Where is your brother, Abel?
I am not my brother’s keeper my Lord.
I am searching for him now.
He has not come home yet.
I have told you that
no one can hide anything from me.
Background music playing
You have committed a terrible sin
You killed your own brother.
I see his blood staining the paddy fields.
It has soaked the earth and is crying out to me.
He did nothing to harm you.
He only wanted to do his best.
He had nothing but love and respect for you.
He loved his parents and they loved him back.
Why did you kill your own brother Cain?
Oh God,
what have I done…
what have I done?
What should I do God?
What will I tell my parents?
I am a horrible being.
I am lost
forever.
You must run away from this land
where your brother’s blood has fallen.
Run away from your parents
and go far far away.
Oh God!
Where will I go,
what will I do now?
You will roam the earth until you die
and nobody will love you.
Nobody will kill you
as I will place a mark on your forehead
to warn whoever you come across
that you cannot be killed.
And for the rest o f his life,
Cain roamed the earth like a mad man
horrified by the crime he had committed.
