^^^GOD
created the DONKEY and told him, “You
will work tireless from sunrise up to sunset, carrying heavy bags
on your back, you will eat grass. You will not have intelligence
and you will live 50 years. You will be a DONKEY!” The DONKEY
answered, 7 will be a DONKEY, but living 50 years is too much, give
me only 20 years!” and God gave him 20 years.
GOD created DOG and told him “You will look after mans house,
you will be his best friend, you will eat whatever they give you
and you will live 25 years, You will be a DOG.” The DOG answered “GOD,
living 25 years is too much, give only 10 years!” and GOD gave
him 10 years. GOD created the MONKEY and told him, “you will
jump from branch to branch, you will do silly things, you will be
amusing and you will live 20 years, you will be a MONKEY!” The
MONKEY answered “GOD, living 20 years is too much, give me
only 10 years!” and GOD gave him 10 years.
Finally GOD created MAN and told him, “you will be a MAN
the only rational being on this earth and you will use your intelligence
to control other animals, you will dominate the world and you will
live for 20 years.” The MAN answered, “GOD I will be
a man but living 20 years is not enough, why don’t you give
me the 30 years that the DONKEY refused, the 15 years that the DOG
didn’t want and the 10 years that the MONKEY refused ? That
was exactly what GOD did, and since then...
MAN lives 20 years like a MAN, then he gets married and spends
30 years like a DONKEY, working and carrying the load on his back,
then when his children leave he spends 15 years like a DOG looking
after the house and eating whatever is given to him. Then he gets
old, retires and spends 10 years like a MONKEY, jumping from house
to house or from children to children, doing silly things to amuse
his grand children.
