Life Explained

On the first day, God created the Dog & said: “Sit all day by the door of your house & 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 is a long time to be barking. How about only ten years & I will give you back the other ten?” So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey & said: “Entertain people, do tricks & make them laugh. For this I will give you a twenty year life span.” The monkey said: “Monkey tricks for twenty years. That is a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?” And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow & said: “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long & suffer under the sun, have calves & give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.” The cow said: “That is kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty years & I will give you back the other forty?” And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man & said: “Eat, sleep, play, marry & enjoy your life. For this I will give you twenty years,” But the man said: “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back & the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, Okay?” “Okay “, said God, You asked for it.”

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep play & enjoy ourselves. For the next forty 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 & bark at everyone.
