Whatever the precise reason for the rejection and acceptance of the two gifts, the reaction of Cain is clear. Cain was angry and downcast. God speaks to him.
The reaction of Cain is so typical of our human reaction, and failure to realise the heart of God. God says that if Cain learns to do what is right he will be accepted, but instead of following this road Cain decides to sulk.
Sin is waiting to devour us. Sin is an enemy, and we need to master it, otherwise it will devour us. We need to guard our reactions and attitudes, and to repent of the ungodly ones we have, otherwise they will ruin our lives.
