🍁In ancient times, it was said:🍁

A dog was told: "You will guard the homes of humans, and be the best friends of humans. You will have to live on the food they leave behind, and I will give you thirty years of life."
The dog said: "Thirty years is too much, I only want fifteen years." So he got what he wanted.
The monkey was told: "You will swing on the branches of trees, and perform tricks to make people laugh. You will be given twenty years of life."

The monkey said: "Twenty years is too much, I only want ten years." So he got what he wanted.
The donkey was told: "You will work all day long without complaining, and carry heavy loads on your back. You will have to eat more barley, and you will have no sense. You will be given fifty years of life."
The donkey said: "Fifty years is too much, I only want twenty years." So he got what he wanted.
Man was told: "You are the most intelligent creature on earth, and you will rule over the rest of the creatures by using your intelligence. You will be given a beautiful life and you will live for twenty years."
Man said: "Twenty years is too short! I also need the thirty years that the donkey does not want, and the fifteen years that the dog does not want, and the ten years that the monkey does not want." So he got what he wanted.
From then on, man lives like a human for twenty years, then after marriage:
He works like a donkey for thirty years, toiling and carrying loads from morning to evening.
Then when the children grow up, he guards the house like a dog for fifteen years, locking the doors and eating little or living on the food left by his children.
Then when he becomes old and retires, he lives like a monkey for ten years. He goes from house to house, from son to son, from daughter to daughter, and tells stories to make his grandchildren laugh.
So, O son of man, why are you proud?
