24EN Editor's Note：There had been four ages since the human world first came into being ．They are the Golden Age，the Silver Age，the Age of  Bronze and the Age of Iron．The Golden Age was the best of all．There were no extremes of cold and heat．Men lived a happy life．They were forever young．They were always eating richly and knew neither hard labour nor sorrow．When death came it came like a peaceful sleep．And they became good spirits in heaven ．
