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 you lack intelligence.You will live for 40 years."Then mule answered,"To live like this for 40 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 him you will be his greatest companion.You will eat his table scraps and live 25 years."The dog responded,"Lord,to live 25 years as a dag is too much.Please,no more than 10 years."And it was so. God then created th 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."The monkey responded,"Lord,to live 20 years as the colwn 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."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 ten years the monkey rejected."And it was so.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,Man is have to 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 a clown to amuse his grandchildren. After you have read this assay,please tell me your sentiment!thank you!

I wonder how the first man learned about the years refused by the other animals if he was created last? Don't get me wrong. I laughed when I read your story. But on a serious thought, I believe we should not be looking life this way, or else, there will be no joy in working for your family. Life may appear as you have just told but the missing ingredient there is the joy in doing things in life. If we will learn to enjoy whatever tasks that are thrown to us by fate, then we will rise above the 20 years of being donkey or whatever animal years we will be subjected to.

Hi,eichs1.I also think human have a little selfish and lazy.But I think we are smart.In real life,we shouldn't learn that measure to get sth we want.We should rely on the genuine ability to succeed.Have a good time.
