"on the first day god made the cow. and he told the cow that he would labor under the sun working in the fields and provide milk for the farmer's family. and that his life would be 60 years. the cow said '60 years, that is too long for that hard life. how about I take 20 and give the remaining 40 back to you' God said this was ok.
on the second day, God made the dog. and he told the dog he would sit at the door to the human's house and bark at any who tried to enter. and I will give you a life span of 20 years. the dog said '20 years is too long to sit barking how about I take 10 and give you the other 10 back' God said this was ok.
on the third day God made the monkey. he told the monkey he would live his life doing monkey tricks and making the human's laugh. he told the monkey that he would have a life span of 20 years. the monkey said '20 years is too long doing monkey tricks how about I take the same deal that the dog did, accepting 10 years and giving you back 10' God said this was ok.
on the fourth day God made the human. he told the human he would lay around and do nothing but have fun and laugh and that his life span would be 20 years. to this the human said '20 years that is not enough....how about I take the 20 years you offered, plus the 40 years from the cow, the 10 years from the monkey and the 10 years from the dog.' God said this was ok.
and thus the humans live the first 20 years doing nothing but laughing, laying around, and having a good time, the next 40 years working away under the sun providing for the family, the next 10 doing monkey tricks to make the grandchildren laugh, and the last 10 years sitting outside the house barking at strangers.
