On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door

of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will

give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years?

And I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do

tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life

span."

The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty Long time

to perform. How about I give you back ten as the dog did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field

with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give

milk to support the farmer's family. For this, 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. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and

enjoy your life.

For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the

forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog

gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why, for 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.

There, life has now been explained to you ..
