Genesis 3 Revisited (Or why I ate Rich's Fruitcake)

Now the fruitcake was more crafty than any of the other baked goods that Rich's Mum had made. It said to Isobelle, “Did Rich really say, ‘You must not eat any of the delicious treats in the kitchen’?”

Isobelle said to the fruitcake, “We may eat snacks from the fridge, but Rich did say, ‘You must not eat the fruitcake that is in the middle of the table, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the fruitcake said to Isobelle.  “For Rich knows that when you eat me your eyes will be opened, and you will be like him, knowing good and evil.”

When Isobelle saw that the fruitcake smelt AMAZING and was pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.

And it was good.
