God created the donkey and told him "you will work tireless from sun up to sun down, carrying heavy bags on your back, you will eat grass, you will not have intelligence and you will live 50 years. You will be a DONKEY!!!! The donkey answered " I will be a Donkey, but living 50 years is too much, give me only 20 years. "And GOD gave him 20 years".
God created the Dog and told him "you will look after men's houses, you will be his best friend, you will eat what ever they give you and you will live 25 years. You will be Dog!!!!! The Dog answered "God living 25 years is too much, give me only 10 years". And God gave him 10 years.
God created Monkey and told him " you will jump from branch to branch, you will do silly things, you will be amusing and you will live 20 years. You will be a MONKEY!!!!!" The Monkey answered "God, living 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."
Finally, God created man and told him "You will be man, the only rational being on this earth, you will use your intelligence to control other animals, you will dominate the world and you will live for 20 years". The man answered "God, I will be a man, but living 20 years is not enough. Why don't you give me 30 years that the Donkey refused, the 15 years that the Dog did not want and the 10 years that the Monkey refused?"
That was what God did, and since then, man lives 20 years like a man, then he gets married and spend 30 years like a Donkey, working and carrying the load on his back, then when his children leave, spends 15 years like Dog, looking after the house and eating what ever is given to him, then he gets old, retires, and spend 10 years like a Monkey, jumping from house to house or from children to children, doing silly things to amuse the grand children.

On the very first day of the world, God created the cow. He said to the cow. "Ah Gu (cow), today I have created you. Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will provide the energy to pull things. You will also provide milk for people to drink. You are to work all day under the sun. In return, you will only eat grass. For that, you will have a life span of 50 years. Ah Gu objected. " What....... I work all day in the sun and I get only to eat grass. On top of that, I have to give my milk away. This is tough and you want me to live 50 years. I'll take 20 and you can have the remaining 30 years back." God agreed.
On the next day, God created the dog. He said to the dog. "Ah Kow (dog), I have created you for a purpose. You are to sit all day by the door of your master's house. Should anyone come in, you are to bark at them. In return, you will eat your master's leftovers. I'll give you a life span of 20 years." Ah Kow objected. " What....I have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at people, and what do I get...LEFTOVERS..... This isn't right, I'll take 10 and you can have the remaining 10 years back!" God agreed again.
On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey. "Lao Kao (monkey), your job is to entertain people. You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces. You will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them. In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts. For that, I'll give you 20 years to live." Naturally the monkey objected. "This is ridiculous, I gotta make faces and make people laugh let at even come to the part about the trees and somersaults. Tell you what, I'll give 10 years of my life to thank you for my existence and I'll take 10. What do you think?" God agreed again.
On the forth day, God created humans. God said to the man. "You are my best piece of work, for that, you will
only need to sleep,eat, sleep,play,eat, sleep again and do nothing else. You will get to eat all the best things and play with the best toys. All you need to do is enjoy all your life. For this kindda of life, I'll give you 20 years." Just like the rest, the man objected. "What, all I need to do is relax and enjoy myself and I have only 20 years to live? Tell you what, you've 30 years back from Ah Gu, 10 years from Ah Kow and another 10 from Lao Kao and you probably don't know what to do with all those lifes. Why not I take them all and I'll have 70 years to live?" God being such good natured, agreed with a smile.....
AND THAT IS WHY.....
We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the first 20 years of our lives when we are growing up. Work like a cow for the next 30 to raise our family. Sit outside the door and bark at people for the next 10 when we are retired. And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10 years.
