On the very first day, God created the cow. He said to the cow. "Today
I have created you! As a job of 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. The 30 years I'll give back to you, "ok."
So God agreed.
On the very 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
person that comes in, you will have to bark at him! I'll give you a life
span of 20 years!"
Dog objected. "What?! All day long to sit by the door?! No way! I'll 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, "A monkey is to
entertain people. You got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks. I'll give you
a 20 year life span."
Monkey objected. "What?! Make them laugh?! Do monkey faces and do tricks?! Give
me 10 years and the other 10 years I'll give you back."So God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created a human and said to him, "Your job is to
sleep, eat, sleep 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 a 20 year 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!....OK! Why
not 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 70 years old, 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 retire and stay at home, sit in front of
the door and bark at people...
...For the last 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces
and monkey tricks!
