> God created the mule, and told him,

> "You will be mule, working constantly from dusk to dawn, carrying

> heavy

> loads on your back. You will eat grass and lack

> intelligence. You will

> live for 50 years."

>

> The mule answered, "To live like this for 50 years is

> too much. Please,

> give me no more than 20." And it was so.

>

> Then God created the dog, and told him, "You will hold

> vigilance over

> the dwellings of Man, to whom you will be his greatest

> companion. You

> will eat his table scraps and live for 25 years." And

> the dog

> responded, "Lord, to live 25 years as a dog like that

> is too much.

> Please, no more than 10 years." And it was so.

>

> God then created the monkey, and told him, "You are

> monkey. You shall

> swing from tree to tree, acting like an idiot. You will

> be funny, and

> you shall live for 20 years." And the monkey responded,

> "Lord, to live

> 20 years as the clown of the world is too much. Please,

> Lord, give me

> no more than 10 years." And it was so.

>

> Finally, God created Man and told him, "You are Man,

> the only rational

> being that walks the earth. You will use your

> intelligence to have

> mastery over the creatures of the world. You will

> dominate the earth

> and live for 20 years." And the man responded, "Lord,

> to be Man for

> only 20 years is too little. Please, Lord, give me the

> 20 years the

> mule refused, the 15 years the dog refused, and the 10

> years the monkey

> rejected." And it was so.

>

> And so God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then

> marry and live 20

> years like a mule working and carrying heavy loads on

> his back. Then,

> he is to have children and live 15 years as a dog,

> guarding his house

> and eating the leftovers after they empty the pantry;

> then, in his old

> age, to live 10 years as a monkey, acting like an idiot

> to amuse his

> grandchildren. And it is so.
