A simple, agricultural Life explained:
God created the dog and said:
"sit 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 20 years."
The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and i'll give you back the other 10?"
So god agreed.
Then 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 20 years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about i give you back 10 like the dog did?"
And god agreed.
Then god created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day 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 20 and i'll give you back the other 40?"
And god agreed again.
Then god created humans and said: "Eat, sleep, play and enjoy your life. For this, i'll give you twenty years."
But the human said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog gave back; that makes 80, okay?"
"Okay" God said, "You asked for it"
So thats why for our first 20 years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we work in the sun to support our family...For the next 10 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. Your mind has been blown.
