God isn't very impressed with this, and He tells Cain so. Abel offers 'the first and fattest sheep of his flock,' but Cain decides that's overdoing the gratitude thing, and he gives some of his poorer crops.

But I never understood what they were fighting about. The story of Cain and Abel always intrigued me.
