Genesis 4:3-16
One day Cain put together some of the crops he had grown and offered to God. Abel did the same, but he chose the best of the fattest lambs to give back to God.
God looked at the gifts both boys were offering Him. He liked Abel's gift better than Cain's.
This made Cain angry. He did not think god was being fair. God told Cain he could choose to do right or wrong. Cain chose to be angry.
He came up with the plan. He called Abel out to the fields. There, Cain did something very bad. He killed Abel. God called him, "Cain, where is your brother Abel?" Cain shook his head.
God said, "You have done wrong. As your punishment, you will no longer to be able to grow you crops. I am sending you far awayfron here." So Cain had to live in the land of Nod, which meant "Wandering."
