    Georges:

    The first day, he made the sun. It stings the eyes. And then, he made the earth.

    The second day, he made the sea. It wets your feet. The wind tickles...

    The third day, he made records. People born in America speak English. I don't know where I was born; I think it was in Mongoha.

    The fourth day, he made television.

    The fifth day, he made the grass. When you cut it, it cries. You have to comfort it, speak kindly to it.
    If you touch a tree...you become a tree.
    If you close your eyes... you become an ant.

    The sixth day, he made men.
    They come in all colors: there's blue, there's black, there's red, and there's white...there's orange too.
    Butterflies, blue, white, grey or black. Swift, mad, light, fluttering and
    proud. Butterflies, in flowery flight with their wings from a cloud.

    Nathalie is a women. I prefer women because they don't prickle, when you kiss them. Later, I'm going to get married to Nathalie. To have a baby, a man and a woman look at each other. They don't know each other, so they get married. They do a wedding. They kiss on the lips like on television... and a little seed turns up!
    If it's a boy, they call him Georges.

    On Sunday, he rested, that was the seventh day.
    ...
    The eighth day, He made George
    And He saw it was good.
