I like people to come up with their own ideas and interpretations of my work - while it may mean one thing (or even nothing at all) to me, it might hold some other meaning for another. Usually, I like to come up with a story for a piece, especially to get me through the boring parts. I just wanted to do the people, so the rest of it, for me, was tedious.
My story - Adam and Eve are out toiling with their daughters - picking strawberries for a pie, because Eve is teaching her daughters to bake and strawberry is Adam's favorite. Their oldest sees an apple in a tree and it looks good to eat, so she tries to get it. Eve looks on and is fearful, because she remembers what happened when she did the same thing and is about to warn her.
Kids sometimes make the same mistakes as parents - sometimes parents can stop it, sometimes they can't. How you handle it is the important part.
Now - come up with your own story and share it [with me] if you'd like.
