Welcome To Wren's Wonderful World
God created the mule, and told him, "You
will be mule, working constantly from dawn to dusk,
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."
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."
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."
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 30 years the mule refused, the 15 years the
dog refused, and the 10 years the monkey rejected."
And so
God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then marry and live 30 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.
