Short Story of the Day: A Must Read
On the first day God created the dog . God said , " Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years . " The dog said , " That 's too long to be barking . Give me ten years and I ' ll give you back the other ten . "
So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey . God said , " Entertain people , do monkey tricks and make them laugh . I ' ll give you a twenty- year life span . " The monkey said , " Monkey tricks for twenty years ? I don ' t think so. Dog gave you back ten , so that ' s what I ' ll do too, okay ?"
And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow . " You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun , have calves , and give milk to support the farmer . 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 . Let me have twenty and I ' ll give back the other forty. "
And God agreed again .
On the fourth day God created man . God said , " Eat , sleep, play , marry and enjoy your life . I ' ll give you twenty years . "
Man said , " What ? Only twenty years ? Tell you what , I ' ll take my twenty , and the forty the cow gave back , and the ten the monkey gave back , and the ten the dog gave back , that makes eighty , okay ?"
Okay, " said God , " You ' ve got a deal . "
So that is why the first twenty years we eat , sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves ; the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family ; the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren ; and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone .
Life has now been explained to you .
