God created the donkey and said, “You will work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, carrying sacks on their backs, you have no intelligence and you will live 50 years . You will be donkey. “
The donkey answered: “I will be a donkey, but living 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years . “
God gave him.
God created the dog and said, “will take care of the houses of men and be their best friend. Will eat the bones they give you. Will live 25 years and be dog. “
The dog replied, “Lord, to live 25 years is much, give me only 10 years . “
God gave him.
God created the monkey and said: “You will be monkey swing from branch to branch doing tricks and fun you will live 20 years . You will be mono. “
The monkey answered: “Lord, to live 20 years is much. Give me only 10 years . “
God gave him.
Finally, God created Man and told him: “You will be man , the only rational being on Earth. will use your intelligence to be the Lord on animals, in the world and live 20 years . “
The man replied, “Lord, I will be man , but living 20 years is too little. Lord give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog does not want and the 10 years the monkey rejected. “
And God granted it.
So God did and since then the man lives 20 years as a man (it is in parents’ house), lives 30 years like a donkey (working and carrying all the weight on their backs), then when the kids leave, live 15 years as a dog (taking care of your home), then live 10 years like a monkey (jumping from house to house or from child to child and doing tricks to amuse the grandchildren).
