On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sitall day by the door of your house and bark at anyonewho comes in or walks by. For this, I will give you alife span of 20 years."The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. Howabout only 10 years and I'll give you back the other10?"So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said,"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. Forthis, I'll give you a 20-year life span."The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's apretty long time to perform. How about I give you back10 like the dog did?"And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "Youmust go into the field with the farmer all day longand suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk tosupport the farmer's family. For this, I will give youa life span of 60 years."The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want meto live for 60 years. How about 20 and I'll give backthe other 40?"And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said, "Eat,sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'llgive you 20 years."But man said, "Only 20 years? Could you possibly giveme my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkeygave back, and the 10 the dog gave back; that makes80, okay?""Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why the first 20 years we eat, sleep, playand enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave inthe sun to support our family. For the next 10 yearswe do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porchand bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
