My sis sent this to me, I just had to share!!!!:D
Creation:
> 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 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 d ay 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.
> 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.
>
> Life has now been explained to you.
:eek:
