Default Explanation of Life

Explanation of Life

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 you
back the other forty?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God 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.
