some nice excerpt from the email which i think sounds true of our lives today..=)

On the very first day of the world, God created the cow.

He said to the cow: " Ah Gu(cow), today i have created u. ur job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long. you will provide the energy to pull things. you will also provide milk for people to drink. you are to work all day in the sun. in return, you will only eat grass. For tt, you will have a life span of 50 years."

Ah Gu objected.

"What, i work all day in the sun and i get only to eat grass.? On top of tt, i have to give milk away? This is tough and you want me to live 50 years? I'll take 20 and you can have the remaining 30 years back."

God agreed.

On the next day, God created the dog. He said to the dog:"Ah Kow(dog), i have created you for a purpose. You are to sit all day by the door of ur master's house. Should anyone come in, u are to bark at them. In return, you will eat ur master's leftovers. i'll give you a lifespan of 20 years."

Ah Kow objected.
"What, i have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at people, and what do i get? Leftovers. This isnt right,i'll take 10 and you can have the remaining 10 yrs back."
God agreed again.

On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey:" Lao Kao(monkey), your job is to entertain ppl. You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces. you will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them.In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts. For tt, i will give u 20 yrs to live."

Naturally the monkey objected.
"This is ridiculous. i gotta make faces and make ppl laugh? let's not even come to the part abt the trees and somersaults. tell u what, i'll give u 10 yrs of my life and to thank u for my existence and i'll take 10. what do u think?"

God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created humans. God said to the man:" you are my best piece of work, for tt, you will only need to sleep, eat, sleep, play, sleep again and do nothing else. you will get to eat all the best things and play with the best toys. all u need to do is to enjoy all ur life. for this kind of life, i'll give u 20 yrs."

Just like the rest, the man objected.

"What, all i need to do is to relax and enjoy myself and i have only 20 yrs to live? Tell u what, you've 30 yrs back from Ah Gu, 10 yrs from Ah Kow, and another 10 from Lao Kao and u probably dont know what to do with all those lives. why not i take them and i'll have 70 yrs to live?"

God being such good-natured, agreed with a smile.

AND THAT IS WHY:
We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the 1st 20 yrs of our lives when we are growing up. Work like a cow for the next 30 yrs.Sit outside the door and bark at ppl for the next 10 when we are retired. And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10 yrs.

quite funny this email.=p
