How Did Amy Come From Heaven
Before there was any life on earth, God made a man and named him Sam. He sent Sam to live on the bottom of the sea, but Sam wanted to live on the land. Not listening to God's warnings of how hard life would be, Sam went to live on land. Eventually the lifelessness of the land made Sam unhappy that he wept. God took pity on Sam and sent him a wife named Amy to keep him company for two years. When Amy came from heaven to live with Sam , she brought fire with her, for it had not existed on earth before. She built a fire in the middle of Sam's hut and slept on the side opposite him. In the night, however, he crossed over and bit her . By the next morning, she was swollen, and she gave birth to the grasses and trees and other plants, and soon the world was green with life. The trees grew until they touched the sky, and then the first rain fell from the clouds that they touched. Thus life on the land flourished, and Sam and Amy led a bountiful life in their new paradise. At the end of her two years, Amy returned to the heavens to live there forever. Again Sam wept in his loneliness. God offered him another wife, but he warned Sam that this time the …show more content…
He did so, however, and on the next day Trisha gave birth to the lions, the leopards, the snakes, and the scorpions that plague humankind because Sam ignored the warning. As Sam's daughters grew up, they became beautiful, and he wanted them to grow old and find someone to love, and they had many children. Thus Sam came to rule over a far away kingdom of his descendents. Trisha was jealous because she doesn't feel the love with Sam anymore, however, and she sent a snake to bite her husband. He soon fell ill, and the rainfall that his people had enjoyed stopped. As the rivers dried up and food began, his people concluded that it was his fault. Eventually they rose up and strangled him, and they set another man in his place as

He emphasized the tone by using playful words such as “cuddled” or even giving God human characteristics and body parts, saying that he smiled, that a rainbow curled itself around His shoulder, and that God raised his arm and waved his hand. The author using repetition and alliteration also developed the…
