"Hmm… How about Zebra? That sounds like a striped creature." Adam, who had been naming God's animals for days now, looked to his Creator for approval. God took upon himself a human form and gave Adam a wide brilliant grin of approval.

"That's perfect Adam! Your names have all been wonderful, and that was the last creature!" But then, a wickedly mischievous gleam danced across the face of the Maker of the universe. "Although…" Adam cocked his head, now grinning as well.

"Did You think of something else Father?"

"Yes, I did. And I think you'll like this one even better than the Okapi!" Adam laughed.

"Good luck with that! Although I suppose you can do anything…" They both grinned, and God, now looking like nothing more than a little boy, skipped off to create one last delightful surprise. Once He decided He was sufficiently far enough away, God began thinking about His new creation.

"I'll put all my favorite pieces in it. It's got to have a ducks bill, those are just hilarious. And a beavers tail! Of course! Then I think.. Sort of, stubby little dog legs, but a lot shorter." He laughed, completely having fun. "Perhaps, something like an otter's body? Good! Oh, oh! And little froggy feet..!" God looked at His last creature and started – quite literally (because He can do things like that) – laughing His head off. The creature He was laughing at looked rather a bit offended, but started slowly waddling in Adam's direction, where it knew it would be named. The waddling sent God into a renewed bout of laughter, and He toddled after the creature to see what Adam thought of it. When they reached him, Adam looked just a little more than shocked at God's state.

"Err, God? Are You okay?

"Yes! But look!" He pointed to the creature and Adam looked at it, a disbelieving grin growing on his face.

"Um, wow… I'm supposed to name this?" God chuckled, much calmer now.

"Absolutely!"

Adam looked rather confuzzled but started giving it his best. "Okay… Err, Mixedup? No... Oddbits? Hm mm… Platypus?" He nodded, satisfied. "Platypus. Although, God..?"

"Yes Adam?"

"Couldn't it use something a little... helpfuller?"

God grinned. (alliteration!) "You're right… something from the porcupine perhaps?" And with that, a short spike was on each of the newly named creatures heels. God then had a horribly funny thought.

"So what are you going to call it pluralized?"

Adam groaned. "God!"
