Read abt this in friendster.. interesting...

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 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 goes on...
