On the first day God created the cow.
God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer
all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and
give milk to support the farmer. 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. Let me have twenty and I'll
give back the other forty."
And God agreed.
On the second day God created the dog. God said, "Sit
all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone
who comes in or
walks past.
I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me
ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."
So God agreed (sigh).
On the third day God created the monkey. God said,
"Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh.
I'll give you a twenty year life span."
The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty
years? I don't
think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll
do too, okay?"
And God agreed again.
On the forth day God created man.
God said, "Eat, sleep, play, enjoy. Do nothing, just
enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years! No way, man. Tell
you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow
gave back, and the ten the dog gave back and the ten
the monkey gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep,
play, enjoy, and do nothing;
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.
Life has now been explained.
