A teacher asked her class of small children to make a crayon picture of the Old Testament story they liked best.
One little boy depicted a man in a top hat driving an old car. In the back seat were 2 passengers scantily dressed.
It is a nice picture, said the teacher, but what story does it tell?
The young artist seemed surprised at the question.
Well, he exclaimed, doesn't it say in the Bible that Goddrove Adamand Eve out of the Garden of Eden?
