Story Of Man
DAY ONE
God : "Ah Gu" (cow) I had created you. Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will provide the energy to pull thing. You will also provide milk for Chinese to drink. You are to work all day under the sun. In return, you will get only to eat grass. For that, you will had a life span of 50 years
Cow : Objection! What .... I work all under the sun and only get to eat grass. On top of that, I have to give my milk away. So tough, you want me to live 50 years. I will take 20 years and you have the remaining 30 years back
God : OK (agreed)
DAY TWO
God : "Ah Kow" (dog) I had created you for purpose. You are to sit by the door of your master's house. Should any one come in, you are to bark at him. In return, you will get to eat your master leftovers . I will give you 20 years life span.
Dog : Objection! What ..... I need to sit by the doors all day and will bark at people, and what I get to eat ....... LEFTOVERS! This isn't right, I will take 10 years and the remaining 10 years keep it for yourself.
God : OK (agreed)
DAY THREE
God : "Lao Kao" (monkey) I had created you for purpose. Your job is to entertain people. You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces. You will also do somersaults and swing on tree to amaze them. In return you get to eat bananas and peanuts. For that I give you 20 years to live.
Monkey : Objection! This is ridiculous, I gotta make faces and make people laugh and even do somersaults and swing from tree to tree. Tell you what, I give 10 years of my life to thank you for my existence and I will take 10 years.
God : OK (agreed)
DAY FOUR
God : Man, I had created you . You are my best piece of work, for that you only need to sleep, eat, play, sleep and again and again and do nothing else. You will get to eat the best food and play the best toys. All you have to do is enjoy all your life. For this kind of life, I will give you 20 years.
Man : Objection. What all I had to do is relax and enjoy myself and get 20 years. Tell you what, you have 30 years back from Ah Kow, 10 years from Ah Gu and 10 years from Lao Kao and probably you don't know what to do with this life's. Why not I take them all and I will have 70 years life span to live.
God : OK no problem (with smile)
We eat, sleep, play and enjoy life for the first 20 years when we are growing up.
Work like a cow for the next 30 years to raise our family.
Sit outside the door and bark next 10 years after retired
And finally, we make faces and peform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10 years.
