And God created…..

My brother just sent this to me and I thought that I’d share it with you…..

 

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?”

And God saw it was good.

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, again saw it was good.

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 it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play,

marry 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 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.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information..  I’m doing

it as a public service.  If you are looking for me I will be on the

front porch.
