FACTS


God created the donkey and said to him , " You will be a donkey. You will work untiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years.
The donkey answered , " To live 50 years is too much. Give me only 20 years." God granted his wish


God created dog and said , " You will gaurd the house of man. You will be his best friend. You will eat scraps that'll be given to you. You will live 30 years and be a dog.
The dog answered , " Please give me only 15 years. " And God granted his wish.

God created the monkey and said to him , " You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks. You will be amusing and will live 20 years."
The monkey answered , " To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."

Finally God created man and said to him , " You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of earth. You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals. You will dominate the world and live 20 years. "
Man responded , " I will be a man, but to live 20 years is very little. Please give me the 30 years refused by the donkey, 15 years refused by the dog and 10 years that the monkey did not want.
God granted man's wish.

Since then, man lives 20 years like a man, marries and spends 30 years like a donkey, working and carrying all the burdens on his back. Then when his children are grown, he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him, so that when he is old , he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey, going from house to house and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

SAD BUT TRUE.

Please love your folks and take very good care of them.

Isn't it? :)

There is a movie called 'Thou shalt fly without wings'.

It says, the quote i mentioned underneath, is from the Holy Quran. However, i have no recollecion of anything like that in the Quran. It doesn't give reference to the proper chapter, surah either. Does anyone know anything about it?

And God created the Horse and said to him "'I have called thee horse and i have created thee Arab. I have attached good fortune to the hair that falls between thine eyes. Thou shall be the lord of all other animals, and men shall follow thee wheresoever thou goest. Good for pursuit as for flight, thou shall fly without wings and upon thy back shall riches repose and through thy means shall wealth come.'" :)
