 > 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 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.
 >
 > On the third day, God 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.
 >
 > 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 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.
