All lifes problems make sense now!!
Posted by: apalachee in Living Life to its Foolest, Thoughtfoolness, funnys, philosophy, tags: buffalo, dog, funny, life, man, marry, monkey, philosophy, wakan tanka, woman, yearsOn the first day, Wakan Tanka created the dog and said:
“Sit all day by the door of your lodge and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.
For this I will give you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said: “That’s a long time to be barking.
How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?”
So Wakan Tanka agreed.
On the second day, Wakan Tanka created the Monkey and said:
“Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I will give you a 20 year life span.”
The Monkey said: “Do Monkey tricks for 20 Years??
That’s a pretty long time to perform tricks and make people laugh. How about I give you back 10 years like the dog did?”
And Wakan Tanka agreed.
On the third day, Wakan Tanka created the Buffalo and said:
“You must go into the fields all day long, suffer under the heat and suffer the cold, have calves, give your meat for food and skin for warmth to support the people.
For this I will give you a life span of 60 years to do all this.
The buffalo said: “That is a very tough life you want me to life for 60 years. How about twenty years and I’ll give you back the other forty?”
And Wakan Tanka Agreed again.
On the fourth day, Wakan Tanka created man and said:
“Eat, Sleep, Play, Marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you 20 years.”
But man said, “Only twenty years??
Could you possibly give me my 20 years, the 40 the buffalo gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back and the 10 the dog gave back, that makes 80 years, Okay?”
“Okay” said Wakan Tanka, “but remember, you asked for it”.
So that is why for our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy ourselves.
For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grand children.
and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone that comes our way.
So now, Life has been explained to you. Live long and prosper and look forward to your barking years ahead.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information, the satisfaction i get, in informing my fellow man with wisdom and information, is enough.
lol
enjoy
