GOOD MORNING MHO !!!
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.
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 ,
Then 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 ?????
