Serpent

(The story of Raphael continued.)

The great angel walked confusedly in Eden. As you imagine, his subconscious mind brought him to the Tree of Wisdom.

A voice appeared between the branches.

"My dear fellow, you look puzzled. What's the matter?"

"Alas, nothing. Who are you?"

"I am Serpent - you could see that much. Can I help you?"

"How could you? To tell you the truth, I'm wondering whether I should tell the two human beings everything about this tree."

"Of course. You should respect their free mind!"

"Even if they would probably eat the apple and be expelled the paradise?"
