Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I’ll give back to you.” So God agreed. 　　On the second day, God created the dog. God said to the dog, “What you are 37 to do is to sit all day by the door of your house. Any people that come in, you will have to 38 at them! I’ll give you a life span of 20 years.” 　　The dog objected, “What? All day long to 39 by the door? No way! I’ll give you 40 my other 10 years of life!” So God agreed.   　　On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey, “Monkeys have to 41 people.

You will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I’ll give you a 20 year life span.” 　　The man objected. “What? 45 a good life! Eat, play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you 46 me to live only for 20 years? No way, man! Why don’t we make a(n) 47 ? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will 48 them from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?” So God agreed.   　　AND THAT’S WHY... 　　In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For the next 30 years, we 49 all day long, suffer and get to 50 the family. For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks.
