>>> 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 back the other ten?"

>>>

>>> So God agreed.

>>>

>>> 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."

>>>

>>> 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.

>>>

>>> 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 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.

>>>

>>> On the fourth day, God created man and said:

>>>

>>> "Eat, sleep, play, party 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...
