Two Brothers

Adam and Eve had two sons. Cain grew up to be a farmer who grew vegetables. Abel grew up to be a shepherd who took care of sheep.

One day, both brothers brought gifts to God. Abel brought his very best lamb—a fluffy, perfect one. Cain brought some of his vegetables, but he didn't really try to give his best.

God was happy with Abel's gift because Abel gave it with love. But God wasn't happy with Cain's gift.

Cain got REALLY angry. His face turned into a big frown.

God warned Cain, 'Be careful! When you're angry, it's easy to do bad things. You need to control your anger.'

But Cain didn't listen. He was so jealous of his brother. He took Abel out to the field and hurt him so badly that Abel died.

'Where is your brother?' God asked Cain.

'I don't know!' Cain said. But that was a lie, and God knew it.

'What have you done?' God was very sad. Cain had to leave his home and wander far away.

This story teaches us that God wants our very best. And when we feel angry or jealous, we need to talk to God about it instead of doing something bad.
