Creation Story

I wrote a Creation Story in my English Class. It is easy for you guys, but not fo me. It was really difficult.

-------------------------------------------------------------

What did the Lord create in six days? He created all things with the Word. Before God's creation. The world was empty and only God's Spirit was moving over the water and it was dark.

On the first day God created the light. And on the next day, God created the sky. On the third day, God created the ocean and plants on the land.

And on the next day, God created the big light and the small light.

The big light is for the day and the small light for the night. And God also created the stars to shine at night.

On the fifth day God created the birds that flies on the sky. And on the next day, God created the animals, big, small, wide and tall. At last, God created one man from the dust. He created the man to rule the land. On the seventh day God rested. This day was called The Sabbath day. God made this day holy, because the Lord thy God is the holy God.

God created the man to be the image of God. And God made the man holy. The first man's name was Adam, because he was made from the dust. Adama means dust in Hebrew. God made Adam to rule the land and the things that God made.

This man was the first king in the History. And he was also a priest and prophet. His first work was naming. God made Adam to name the things that he created. He named them correctly.

After the creation God created the woman from man's bone. Because Adam needed a helper. This woman's name was Eve. She was Adam's wife. At that time, only two people was in Eden. God commanded them not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil but he said they can eat from the other trees.

I know you wrote it in English---I read it in English!!

What I'm asking is which source you used. Surely you didn't come up with this yourself right!? Somehow, this story sounds very familiar...hehehe

She probably read it and then wrote it herself... did you? I am answering for you, silly me.

I like it! It is well written! And it isn't easy to write, but it must be so hard when you are Japanese! It must have taken a long time! Wow, I cannot write even a sentence in French... I am terrible at learning languages... "good old English" I say...
