InTeResTinG

read an interesting comprehension passage in my tuition kid's assessment bk tdy... impossible to remember and put every word in .. but the story roughly went like this:
*
Long long time ago, there was a god named Braham. Braham created the world and thought it would be nice to have a human being living in it. Hence, he created a human being and granted him a lifespan of 30 years. The man was alone until he realised he needed a helper to help him with his work, and therefore, he went to Braham and requested him to grant him a worker. Braham agreed, and created a cow to assist the human being in his work. Braham gave the cow a 30 years lifespan but the cow thought 30 years is too much. The cow wanted only 10 years and the human being asked for the years that the cow rejected.
*
Soon, with the cow's help, the human being's possession increased and he decided he needed a watcher to help him guide his possession. Once again, he went to Braham and Braham created a dog for him. Braham gave the dog a lifespan of 30 years but the dog too think tt 30 years is too long. The dog wanted only 10 years and again, the human being took in the 20 years that the dog rejected.
*
After a while, the human being feels that the world is too boring and he needed some amusement. He went to Braham yet again, and this time round, Braham created a monkey with a lifespan of 30 years. Like the cow and the dog, the monkey wanted only 10 years and similar as b4, the human being requested to have the 20 years that the monkey did not want.
*
So now, the human being has a total lifespan of 90 years while the animals each have 10 years.
*
Braham slowly realised the greediness of the human being and he decided to punish him.
*
Braham made the human being slogged like the cow until 50 years old. For the next 20 years, all the way till he turns 70, he will have to guide his house and properties/possessions, juz like the dog. And for the last 20 years, till he is 90 years old, he'll become old and forgetful and start doing silly things like the monkey to amuse his descendants.
*
so tt's wat life is all abt huh? some truth in the story, arent there?
