上帝造物的故事
 
上帝创造了骡子,对他说:“你将是骡子,从早到晚不停地干活,背上驮着沉沉的东西。你以草为食,没有智力。你将活40年。”骡子回答说:“照这样活40年可受不了。请最多让我活20年吧。”于是就这样定了。
接着,上帝创造了狗,对他说:“你将负责给人看家。你是人类最好的伙伴。你吃他的残羹剩饭,活25年。”狗回答说:“上帝,狗活25年可受不了。请最多让我活10年吧。”于是就这样定了。
上帝又创造了猴子,对他说:“你是猴子。你要在树间跳来荡去,像个傻瓜,你滑稽好笑,活20年。”猴子回答说:“上帝,人间小丑活20年可受不了。请上帝最多让我活10年吧。”于是就这样定了。
最后,上帝创造了人,对他说:“你是人,地球上惟一具有理性的生物。你将用你的聪明才智统治世间万物。你将主宰地球,活20年。”人回答说:“上帝,人只活20年太少了。请上帝把骡子拒绝的20年、狗拒绝的15年和猴子拒绝的10年都赐给我吧。”于是就这样定了。于是,上帝让人像人一样活上20年,然后结婚,像骡子一样再活20年,辛勤劳作,背上重负不堪。然后,人有了孩子,要像狗一样活上15年,守卫着自己的家,孩子吃完饭,他才去吃他们的残羹剩饭。再后,年老了,又要像猴子一样活上10年,像个小丑去哄逗孙子孙女们开心。
