Description:

Cartoon set in the Garden of Eden. Adam is soon bored in his new surroundings, so God creates Eve for him. Over the next three days God finds Adam regularly bored, so God suggests activities for Adam with Eve, explaining each time what he means. The suggestions for days 2, 3 and 4 respectively are: giving Eve a hug; kissing Eve; making love to Eve. On the fourth day, Adam returns and asks God to explain what a headache is. (EAFA)
