This Explains it All
On the very first day, God created the cow. He
said to the cow. "Today I have created you! As a
cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day
long. You will work all day under the sun! I will
give you a life span of 50 years."
Cow objected "What? This kind of tough life you want
me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years, and
the 30 years I'll give back to you." So, God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said
to the dog, "What you are supposed to do is to sit
all day by the door of your house. Any people that
come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give
you a life span of 20 years!"
Dog objected. "What? All day long to sit by the
door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of
life!" So, God agreed.
On the third day, God created the monkey. He said
to the monkey, "Monkey has to entertain people.
You've got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks.
I'll give you 20 years life span."
Monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey
faces and tricks? Ten years will do, and the other
10 years I'll give you back." So, God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created man and said to
him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You
will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to
do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life,
I'll give you 20 years of life span."
The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat,
play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you
expect me to live only for 20 years? No way,
man! Why don't we make a deal? Since Cow gave
you back 30 years, Dog gave you back 10 years and
Monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from
you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So,
God agreed.
AND THAT IS WHY ... In our first 20 years, we eat,
sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For
the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and
get to support the family. For the next 10 years, we
entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces
and monkey tricks. And for the last 10 years, we stay
at home, sit in front of the door and bark at people.
