  Eve, mother of all living, labored and toiled long days and nights. One day, God came down and visited her. Embarrassed that she only had enough time to clean seven of her thirteen children, she hid the six soiled ones from him. God found them, and reprimanded Eve for having been ashamed of her own flesh and blood. “Those you have hidden from me…” God said, “…they will stand out from the rest of mankind.
