《寿命》正文
  上帝创造了这个世界,准备给万物的生命,这时驴子走了过来问道:“主啊,我将活多少年?”“三十年,”上帝回答道,“你满意吗?”“啊!主呀,”驴子答道,“那够长了。想想我活得多苦呀!每天从早到晚背着沉重的负担,把一袋的谷子拖进作坊,而其他人可以吃面包,他们只知用打我、踢我来的方式鼓舞我、振作我。请把我从这漫长的痛苦岁月中解放出来吧。”上帝很同情它,就减了它十八年的寿命。驴子心中宽慰地走了。接着狗又来了。“你想活多久?”上帝问,“三十年对驴来说太长了,但你会满意吧!”“主呀,”狗回答说,“这是你的意志吗?想想我将怎样狂奔,我的脚决不可能坚持那么久,当我一旦不能叫了,除了从一个角落跑到另一个角落,我还能干什么呢?”上帝见它说得对,减了它十二年寿命。接着猴子来了。“你一定愿意活三十年吧?”上帝对它说,“你不必像驴和狗那样干活,却可以享受生活。”“啊!主呀,”它回答,“过去也许是这样,但现在已大不同了。如果天降小米粥,我可没有勺儿。我总是干些发笑的勾当,比如做做鬼脸逗人发笑。如果他们给我一个苹果吃,我就大咬一口,不过它是酸的。悲哀常常藏在欢笑之后!三十年我可耐不住。”上帝仁慈,减了它十年。
 
  最后人类出现了,他是那样地开心、健康而又充满生命力,他请上帝指定他的寿命。“你将活三十年,”上帝说,“够长了吗?”“太短了,”人说,“当我刚建起我的房子、在自己的灶上烧火时,当我辛勤栽培的树木刚开花结果时,当我正准备享受生活时,我却要死了!哦,主呀,请延长我的生命吧!”“加上驴子的十八年。”上帝说。“那还不够。”人回答。“那再加上狗的十二年。”“还是太少了。”“那么,”上帝说,“我再给你猴子的十年,但不能再多了。”人走了,但还是不满意。
 
  这样人活七十岁,起先三十年是他的本份,但瞬息即逝,这阶段他健康、快乐,高兴地工作,生活也充满了欢乐。接下来是驴子的十八年,这时候,生活的负担压在肩上,他得辛勤地劳作养活他人,他这种忠实的服务换来的却是拳打和脚踢。然后是狗的十二年,那时他失去了利齿,咬不动东西,只能躺在墙脚忿忿不平地低吼。这痛苦日子过后,猴子般的生活结束了他最后的一生。这时,他傻头傻脑,糊里糊涂,成了孩子们捉弄、嘲笑的对象。

God created the world to give life to all things. At this time, the donkey came and asked, "Lord, how many years will I live?" "Thirty years," God replied, "are you satisfied?" "Oh, Lord," replied the donkey, "that's long enough. Think how hard I live! Every day, carrying a heavy burden from morning to night, I drag a bag of grain into the workshop, while others can eat bread. They only encourage and cheer me up by beating and kicking me. Please liberate me from these long and painful years." God sympathized with it and reduced its life span by 18 years. The donkey went away with relief. Then the dog came again. "How long do you want to live?" God asked, "thirty years is too long for a donkey, but will you be satisfied?" "Lord," replied the dog, "is this your will? Think about how I will run. My feet will never last that long. Once I can't bark, what can I do except run from one corner to another?" God saw that it was right and reduced its life span by twelve years. Then the monkey came. "You must be willing to live for thirty years?" God said to it, "you don't have to work like a donkey and a dog, but you can enjoy life." "Ah! Lord," he replied, "it may have been so in the past, but now it's very different. If it rains, I don't have a spoon. I always do funny things, such as making faces to make people laugh. If they give me an apple, I'll take a big bite, but it's sour. Sorrow often hides after laughter! I can't bear it for 30 years." God's mercy reduced it by ten years.
 
Finally, mankind appeared. He was so happy, healthy and full of vitality. He asked God to specify his life span. "You will live thirty years," said God. "Is that long enough?" "It's too short," said the man. "When I just built my house and burned on my stove, when the trees I worked hard to cultivate just bloomed and bear fruit, when I was ready to enjoy life, I was going to die! Oh, Lord, please prolong my life!" "Plus eighteen years of donkey." God said. "That's not enough." No one answered. "That plus twelve years of dog." "It's still too little." "Well," said God, "I'll give you another ten years of monkeys, but no more." People left, but they were still dissatisfied.
 
Such a person lives at the age of 70. It is his duty to live for 30 years at first, but it is fleeting. At this stage, he is healthy, happy, happy to work, and life is full of joy. Then came the donkey's eighteen years. At this time, the burden of life was on his shoulders. He had to work hard to feed others. His faithful service was in exchange for boxing and kicking. Then there was the dog's twelve years. At that time, he lost his sharp teeth and couldn't bite anything. He had to lie at the foot of the wall and roar angrily. After this painful day, the monkey like life ended his last life. At this time, he was stupid and confused, and became the object of ridicule and ridicule by the children.
