Maybe not that long ago, but for always, there was a little girl and a little boy. We might call them Eve and Adam, or Janet and John, depending on where you remember reading or hearing their story first.
They were so happy growing up together, it was so much fun. Adam would point to new things (that he'd just noticed) and Eve would look in wonder at both of them and say, "Wow!".
Adam would look into Eve's face everytime she said wow, and the feeling in his chest told him he knew exactly what she meant.
That's how much they loved each other.
One day, Eve was sitting on their favourite 'thinking' mound, thinking, because that's what you do on 'thinking' mounds, picnic mounds have a completely different use, although sometimes have to be multifunctional (if you know what I mean?).
Anyway, she kept looking at Adam who was watching her thinking and creating a daisy chain, until she broke the silence by asking him, "What do you think, you know, when you look at me, can you describe how you feel?"
Adam looked at Eve while he thought about her question and started to explain, "Well, you know when you were looking at the apple earlier, I knew how I felt when I saw it, I wanted you to feel the way I did when I saw it.
I felt ... " and he thought about it more,
how could he explain this so that Eve would understand?
".... "Wow", and watched her face to see if she knew what he meant.
Eve thought too.
She thought about when she saw the apple, how she'd looked up to Adams face first and his expression.
He was pointing, she'd looked down his arm to his hand and the direction.
She then looked back at Adams face.
Eve looked again at the apple, to see what it was about it which made Adam so happy.
It was where the flowers had been,
Underneath was a smaller tree.
