On the first day, Nature 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 Nature agreed.
>

>
> On the second day, Nature 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 Nature agreed.
>
>
>
> On the third day, Nature 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 Nature agreed again.
>
>
>
> On the fourth day, Nature 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 Nature, '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.

>
> There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as
> a public service.
