Men asked for it!!
And what about the lot of a woman???
God created the donkey
and said to him.
'You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly 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:
'I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years'
God granted his wish.
God created the dog
and said to him:
'You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.
You will be a dog. '
The dog answered:
'Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only 15 years.
' 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 you will live
20 years. '
The monkey answered:
'To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years.'
God granted his wish.
Finally God created man ....
and said to him: |
Well, as for the woman, God created Pusing Hakka women to take on the role of the man.
My wife used to joke to my son that if he were to marry a Pusing Hakka girl, he won't die of starvation.
But the catch is, instead he will die of exasperation or provocation (the nearest I can think of in translating the word 'kek' (in Cantonese) or 'kit' (in Hakka).
