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
|
|
|
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."
|
|
|
tricks for twenty years? That's
|
|
|
a pretty long time to perform.
|
|
|
How about I give you back ten like
|
|
|
And God, again saw it was good.
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
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created
|
|
|
humans and said, "Eat, sleep,
|
|
|
play, marry and enjoy your life.
|
|
|
For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human 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
|
|
|
So that is why for our 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
|
|
|
Life has now been explained to you.
