    When God created the dog, He 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.

    Next, 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.

    God then 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.

    Finally, 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 the 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.
