On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, “Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I’ll give you a 20 -- year life span.” The man objected. “What? Such a good life! Eat, play, sleep, and do nothing? Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only 20 years. No way, man! …Why don’t we make a deal? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them all from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?” So God agreed. 第四天,上帝创造了人,并对他说:“你的工作就是吃喝玩乐睡大觉,尽情享受人生。只管享受,什么都不干。这种生活,我给你20年寿命。” 人反对:“什么?这样的好日子!除了吃喝玩乐,什么都不干?尽情享受,而你让我只活20年?不行,老兄!…我们何不做个交易?既然牛退给你30年,狗还你10年,猴子退回10年,你把这些统统给我!这样我的寿命就有70年了,行吗?”上帝同意了。 |
