Title: The Explanation of Life
Post by: Jamoe on May 31, 2007, 08:52:55 AM


                     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 back        the other ten?"  
 So God agreed.
         
God then created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks,        and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty year life        span."  
 The        monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to        perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"  
 And God agreed.        
Then, 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        span of sixty Years."  
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 other forty?"  
And God agreed again.
         
God then created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your        life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."  
But man 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 for        it."
 
        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 everyone.
         
Life has now been explained to you.
