That's Life!

God created a Donkey, a Dog, a Monkey and a Man...

He told Donkey: You'll be a donkey... You'll be carrying burdens on your back un-tiringly, from sunrise to sunset... You'll have no intelligence and you'll live for 50 years...

Donkey replied: I'll be a donkey, but 50 years is too much! I'll take only 20 years...

God granted his wish...

He told Dog: You'll be a dog... You'll be man's best friend, you'll guard his door day and night... You'll eat every scraps he gives you and you'll live for 30 years...

Dog replied: I'll be a dog, but 30 years is too much! I'll take only 15 years...

God granted his wish...

He told Monkey: You'll be a monkey... You'll swing from branches to branches and be amusing at any time... You'll do tricks and you'll live for 20 years...

Monkey replied: I'll be a monkey, but 20 years is too much! I'll take only 10 years...

God granted his wish...

He told Man: You'll be a man, the only rational creature living on the face of Earth... You'll use your intelligence to become master of all animals... You'll dominate the world and you'll live for 20 years...

Man replied: Sir, I'll be a man but 20 years is not enough! I'll take the 30 years Donkey refused, the 15 years Dog did not want, and the 10 years Monkey refused...

God granted his wish...

And since, man lived 20 years as a man...

30 years as donkey, working hard day in day out, carrying burdens over his back...

Then when his kids are grown, he lived 15 years as dog, taking care of the house, eating whatever is given to him...

When he is old one day, he lived 10 years as monkey, visiting house from house of his kids, doing the same old tricks to amuse thier grandchildren...

That's Life!
