On
the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by
the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks
past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog
said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and
I'll give you back the other ten."
So God agreed.
On the
second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain
people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a
twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks
for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so
that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed.
On the
third day God created the cow. "You must go to the field with
the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and
give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of
sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live
for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other
forty."
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said,
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you
twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take
my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey
gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty,
okay?"
Okay,"
said God, "You've got a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat,
sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; the next forty years we slave in
the sun to support our family; the next ten years we do monkey
tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and the last ten years we
sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has
now been explained to you.
