Actually, there are several different versions of 'THE' bible...Some were altered through the ages by different religions/churches with the excuse of 'translation/interpretation'...But, the original story (and most children's bibles that are supposed to explain things in 'a way that even a child can understand') say that it happened the way of the snake as punishment thing, and it doesn't actually say 'snake', it says 'serpent'
The King James version (the only one originally accepted by the church of England, and may still be the only one considered acceptable to this day...I'm not sure about that) is quite a bit different from the original 'unabridged' addition...The excuse at the time of the King James printing was that the original was 'too difficult for the average person to comprehend' in its full context, making it difficult for the average person to 'receive its message'...The 'changes' were supposed to make it easier to understand...However, some things actually say the OPPOSITE of what the original says...It is speculated that it was no accident that it happened that way...Hmm
BTW...The Catholic church boldly states that the bible is 'not to be taken literally, and is subject to interpretation'...Which allows them the chance to explain why it's okay for people to worship and pray to Mary (a human), even though the bible (EVERY version), clearly states that you should 'Have no other Gods before me', and you are ONLY supposed to worship God...No other deities, and certainly no PEOPLE
