Suzanna

And on the eighth day God surveyed all that He had created. And it was all good and wholesome and beautiful. Then suddenly his I-need-things-in-order personality took over. He said I want to CLEARLY divide the oceans from the lands, I want to make sure everyone knows there’s a big difference between that and this. And I really don’t want people walking straight into the oceans or into an iceberg, you know.
So He told the labourer-angels to drag some mountains and place it as a demarcation between different forms. And so there was a clear demarcation between the oceans and the green fields, between the rivers and the valleys, between the red soil areas and the dead soil areas, between waterfalls and pine trees, between white-skinned people and brown-skinned people, between animals with tusks and animals with horns, and between everything He thought was different and which He thought needed a ‘Warning’ sign before entry. And so it came to be that mountains were born as a ‘Do-you-really-want-to-climb-this’ sign.
Now God was very happy with his new idea. On the twelfth day, he said he’d apply this to His abode too. So on the twelfth day, Mrs God spent the whole day piling heaps of clouds between God’s bath area and her changing area, between God’s car park and her car park, between the angels’ singing area and her garden area, between St Peter’s post at the pearly gates and the Devil’s peephole just outside the pearly gates. And She was happy, and God blessed her immensely that evening.
Later that night St Peter wrote his daily diary entry, “And today he created the wall. I cannot hear them today at all.”
