Summary for the teacher

God made a beautiful garden called Eden and placed Adam and Eve there to care for it and to be his friends. They could eat from every tree except one. The serpent tricked Eve, and both of them disobeyed. Sin brought sadness and separation, but God kept caring for them and promised a Savior.
