How Adam Got His Bargain

After God had created the heavens and earth, and all that there is, in six days; He went up to rest on the seventh day. It was while resting in His newly created blissful environment that He looked down and noticed that Adam was all alone, while all the other creations have companions. So he decides to create a companion for him as well.

He hurriedly came back down, and said to Adam. "Adam, seeing that you are my greatest creation, and for failing to give you a companion in the first place, I am going to create for you the ultimate companion; who will worship the very ground you walk on, she will long for you and no other, she will be highly intelligent, she will wait on you hand and foot and obey your every command, she will bear you children, and she will be beautiful.

“And what will it cost me?” Adam asked.

“It will cost you an arm and a leg." God replied.

After thinking for a few moments, Adam asked "What can I get for a rib?"

The rest is history.
