Sometimes, when Adam's peanut sized brain wasn't busy with mud, he would look at the way the other pairs got along. The monkeys would help each other pick lice off and the wolves would nipe and play. Adam would get a strange feeling in his heart, like something was squeezing it, then he wouldn't think too much about it. He tried to get Eve to spend more time with him, but Eve always talked about strange things. Last time, she got angry over a pear. He didn't know she was that hungry. Adam had offered to pick another bigger, sweeter one for her but she just walked off.

Adam had noticed that Eve was spending a lot of time around a snake. He thought that Eve didn't like the other animals. The other animals told him that his pair was difficult. They had tried talking to her, but she would always scorn and let her gaze wander to somewhere far away. He asked Eve about the snake one time but she did that far away gaze again.

Lately Adam was seeing less and less of Eve. A little bird told him that he had seen Eve talking to one of those angels. The bird told him that Eve had laughed. Eve never laughed around him.

He didn't think too much of it.

It was only when Adam looked up to the sky that day and saw a Eve shaped cloud did he realize that it had been a long time since he had last seen Eve. This disturbed Adam. Eve was supposed to be his pair. Adam wanted to know where Eve had wandered off to. Where had Eve gone without him? She was his rib bone after all.

Suddenly, it struck Adam how very alone he was. It didn't seem right for him to be alone in Eden.

Adam had begun starting his days by looking up to the sky. Everything was always better during an Eve cloud day. The mud would be perfectly muddy and the fruits on the trees would taste better. Adam had noticed that his day would be significantly better on an Eve day.

Gradually, looking at the sky became a before meals activity. Eve clouds became his religion. Adam came to believe that if there were Eve clouds in the sky, it meant that the fruit was safe.
