Story of a Man, ox, dog and monkey

When God created the world, a man came to Him and said.
You created me as a man, tell me how long I have to live, how to live, what to eat and how to work.
God answered him, You are allowed to live 30 years, eat everything that will not harm your health, and your job will be to own everything that is on Earth.
The man said, Lord, I thank You for the good life, You give me, but my allotted years are not enough.
God answered, Go and sit in that corner.
Then an ox came and asked God how long he should live, how to live, how to work and what to eat.
God answered him, Do you see the man sitting in the corner, He will be your master, You are labor, will be to plow the land and pull carts.
Grass and straw will be your food, and you will have 30 years of life.
The ox said to God, Oh Lord, what a life the ox has, Take some of my years back.
And God gave man 20 years of the life of an ox.
Then the dog came and asked how she should live and what to do?
God answered her, Do you see the man in the corner? He will be your master. You will guard his house and all his possessions.
You will eat crusts of bread and bones after eating, You have 30 years of life.
The dog said, What kind of life does a dog have, take some of the years back.

Then a monkey came and asked how she should live?
God said, that man will be your master, and with your pranks you will amuse the man and his children, You have 30 years to live.
The monkey said, What kind of life is it, to take away some of the years from a monkey.
