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 andI'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, make
them laugh. I'll give
you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "How boring, 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.
God said, "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 forth 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;
for the next forty years we slave in the sun to
support our family;
for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to
entertain the grandchildren;
and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch
and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you!!!
