Mom: But before that something happened

Grace: What!!(said excitingly)

Mom: He created Angels to serve Him you see, He created a special one with all instruments that will sing and magnify Him

Grace: Wow..Mom that's amazing, with all instruments?

Mom: Yes..The angel with all instruments was named Lucifer, God made him in charge of the Earth and in some time Lucifer growed evil in his heart

Grace: oh no!( she said sadly)

Mom: He wanted the world for himself...But do you know God perceived this evil and knew he was up to something..

Grace: hmm..
