5.On the first day,God created(创造) the dog and said,"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark(吠) at anyone who comes in or walks past.For this,I'll give you a life for twenty years."The dog said,"That's a long time to be barking.How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"So God agreed.On the second day,God created the monkey and said,"Do tricks to make people laugh.For this,I'll give you a twenty-year life."The monkey said,"Monkey tricks for twenty years?That's a pretty long time to perform.How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"And God agreed.
On the third day,God created the cow and said,"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and give milk to support the farmer's family.For this,I will give you a life of sixty years."The cow said,"That's kind of a hard life.How about twenty years?"And God agreed again.
On the fourth day,God created man and said,"Eat,sleep,play,marry and enjoy your life.For this,I'll give you twenty years."But man said,"Only twenty years?Could you possibly give me my twenty,the forty the cow gave back,the ten the monkey gave back,and the ten the dog gave back,OK?""OK,"said God.
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat,sleep,play and enjoy ourselves.For the next forty years we work to support our family.For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to make the grandchildren happy.And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch(走廊) and bark at everyone.
