The Truth about life!

    Creation
    On the first day, God created the dog & said: "Sit all day by the door of
    your house & 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 &
    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, & make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year lifespan.

    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 & suffer under the sun, have calves & 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 & said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry & enjoy
    your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

    But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, plus
    the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, & 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 & 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 & bark
    at everyone.

    Life has now been explained to you.
