 The hand of God fashions Adam out of the clay of Earth and places him on a small and empty planet. Each of Adam s actions - at first he can t stand up, then he barks like a dog, then he sleeps - requires God s intervention. After Adam discovers how small the planet is, how little there is to do, and God s unwillingness to let him leave the Earth, he is depressed, lonely and disconsolate. So God asks Adam s patience for a few minutes while He fashions a companion for Adam. Adam is delighted: he dons a bow tie, uses mouthwash, and finds a bouquet of flowers. Is God thinking what Adam is thinking?
