A group of wise men met together to discuss why God had left creating man until the final & sixth day.
‘He wanted to get the Universe sorted out first so that we could have all its marvels at our disposal,' said one.
'He wanted to experiment with animals first so that he wouldn't make the same mistakes when he created us,' argued another.
A wise Jew turned up at the meeting.
He was told the subject of discussion: 'In your opinion why did God create man only on the final day?'
'Very simple,' said the wise man. 'So that whenever we were afflicted by pride, we could reflect that, in the Divine scheme, even a mere mosquito had priority over us.'
