VM44 took the words out of my mouth. The story of Jonah has a great deal of literary artistry and depth and uses satire to make a stinging social critique of the prophetic profession and the derogatory attitudes many Jews held towards Gentiles. It is far more than a "fish story".
Garden of Eden. One naked lady allows a talking snake to get her to eat an apple that God made. She convinces her naked man to eat a bite. God chases both naked people out, they realize their nakedness. They don't die for a thousand years or so, but because they listened to a snake they made sure we all die. Billions now living will die because God did not wipe out this terrible evil then, but waited until Judgement Day to do so - and that day is still not here thousands of years later.
Bear in mind that some of what you describe is not at all part of the story itself but imposed on it through later Jewish and Christian reinterpretation. It wasn't until Sirach (second century BC) when the mortality of all humankind was blamed on the actions of Adam and Eve (25:24), but the same author simultaneously represented the older view that mankind was created to be mortal (17:1-2, 41:4). This older view can be found in Job (especially in ch. 14, where death is as much a natural part of creation as the erosion of rock or the felling of trees) and other early Jewish sources. The innovative interpretation of Genesis 2-3 in Sirach 25:24 was taken up in later Jewish and Christian writings (e.g. Greek Life of Adam and Eve, Pseudo-Philo 13:10, 1 Timothy 2:13-14), but it has its roots in the misogynistic wisdom tradition found in Proverbs 7 and 4Q184 (Wiles of the Wicked Woman) which blames iniquity and death in general on women in general (without any specific reference to Eve). Yet not even Sirach had a concept of "original sin", who rather viewed Adam as merely the first of all who are created with inclination to sin with freewill to choose between sin or righteousness (15:14-17). And in third-century BC Enochic Judaism, the origin of sin was blamed instead on the fallen angels who taught humankind forbidden knowledge. It also construed mankind as inherently created as mortal, as it expresses the view that women were made so that men could attain immortality through the power of procreation (1 Enoch 15:4-7); if Adam were already immortal, there wouldn't have been any reason to create Eve from this point of view. In later first-century AD Enochic Judaism, this view changed to one closer to that found in Christianity, that Adam and Eve were created as immortal (cf. 1 Enoch 69:11), but whose immortality was destroyed through their acquisition of knowledge.
