English Original
It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining about their lot. They were an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen.
The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way and makes me look like a fool!"
The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink water, and more, all without getting wet."
Next, the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top-heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people laugh at me!"
The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches and allows you to see far into the distance."
Finally, the hen spoke up, "Lord, I don't want to complain, but could you either give me a bigger hole or smaller eggs?"

据说，上帝接待了一群前来抱怨自身命运的动物代表团。成员包括一头大象、一只长颈鹿和一只母鸡。
大象抱怨道：“主啊，我讨厌您给我的这个长鼻子！它碍手碍脚，还让我看起来像个傻瓜！”
上帝说：“别抱怨。它让你能捡起食物、喝水等等，还不会弄湿自己。”
接着，长颈鹿抱怨道：“主啊，我讨厌这个长脖子！它让我头重脚轻，脖子疼得厉害，人们还嘲笑我！”
上帝说：“别抱怨。它让你能从高高的树枝上摘到最好的果实和叶子，还能让你望得很远。”
最后，母鸡开口了：“主啊，我不想抱怨，但您能不能要么给我一个更大的洞，要么给我下小一点的蛋？”
