Story of Shade

The Story of Shade

One day a man named Adam was walking around naked in a garden called Eden, which was located somwhere north of South. One night Adam fell asleep feeling a bit strange. As he awoke the next morning he realized his skin had turned all red and now burned with a new odd sensation that wasn't quite pleasant...not pleasant at all. He asked God what these newfound feelings were. God responded with the word "sunburn". Adam didn't like the sound of this word and decided it was a bad thing. So Adam then asked God how to get rid of "sunburn". God told Adam to go to the plant called Ms. Vera.So Adam went over to Aloe Vera and asked her what he should do. Ms. Vera told Adam to break off one of her many arms and then rub the lotion that comes out on to his red skin. Adam didn't like the sound of this since he was good friends with Ms. Vera. So Adam told Aloe that he didn't want to hurt her. Ms. Vera then reassured Adam that she could regrow more and that she would even feel useful if he did it. So Adam, although reluctantly, broke off an arm and did what Ms. Vera told him to do. He soon felt a new cool sensation on his red skin and thanked Ms. Vera profusely. Ms Vera just smiled and said "You're welcome Adam, just remember that you need me when you start killing all my brothers, sisters and cousins". Adam wasn't quite sure what she was talking about but said "you got it" anyways. Since Adam still felt some pain whenever Ms. Vera's lotion wore off, he decided to ask God if God could help him out some.
God, being the nice creator that He is, told Adam He would give him something called shade. Adam liked the sound of this and whispered sahde to himself with a slight grin. "But what is shade?" asked Adam. "You will find shade among all your plant friends. They will create a dark spot on the ground where you can get shelter from the sun" said God. Adam was pleased and bowed down to God thanking Him. From that day on Adam barely ever got "sunburned" thanks to God and Ms. Vera.
