Look at Cain and Abel now. The have both grown up. Cain has become a farmer.
He grows grains and fruits and vegetables.Abel has become a keeper of sheep. He likes to take care of little lambs. They grow up into big sheep, and so Abel soon has a whole flock of sheep to watch over.
One day Cain and Abel bring a gift to God. Cain brings some food he has grown. And Abel brings the very best sheep he has. God is pleased with Abel and his gift. But he is not pleased with Cain and his gift. Do you know why?
It is not just that Abel gift is better than Cain's. It is because Abel is a good man. He loves God and his brother. But Cain is bad; he does not love his brother.
So Good tells Cain that he should change his ways. But Cain does not listen. He is very angry because God liked Abel better.
So Cain says to Abel,'Let us go over the field.'There, when they are all alone,Cain hits his brother Abel. He hits him so hard that he kills him. Wasn't that a terrible thing for Cain to do?
Even though Abel died,God still remembers him. Abel was good, and God never forgets a person like that.
