| A New Twist on the Creation Story | ||||
|
An amusing article forwarded to me by my sister… Human Life is about to be explained to you. Read on, it’s never too late to find out.
On the first Day, God created the dog and said: 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?'
On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 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?'
On the third day, God created the cow and said: 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?'
On the fourth day, God created man and said: 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?'
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. |
