God created the donkey
;)
and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work
un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will
eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey,
but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish.
............................................................................................
God created the dog
and said
to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.
You will be a dog. " The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only
15 years.
" God granted his
wish.
............................................................................................
God created the monkey
and said to him:
"You will be a
monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be
amusing and you will live 20 years. " The monkey
answered:
"To live 20 years is too much, give me
only 10 years."
God granted his wish.
............................................................................................
Finally God created man
and said to him:
"You will be man, the only
rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence
to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you
will live 20 years."
Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only 20 years
is very little,
give me the 30 years that the
donkey refused,
the 15 years that the dog did not
want and
the 10 years the monkey refused.
"
God granted man's wish
............................................................................................
And since then, man lives 20 years as a
man,
marries and spends 30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.
Then when his
children are grown,
he lives 15 years like a dog
taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him,
so that
when he is old,
he can retire and live 10 years
like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to
another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.
That's Life.
Is'nt it?
Regards
