God was giving the animals and man their duration of life and offered all thirty years. He lessened the donkey's years because of his burdens, the dog's because he had to run about, and the monkey's because he always had to amuse people. Man, however, wanted more years, and so God gave him the years from the others. For this reason, a man is a man only for his first thirty years; he carries burdens like donkey, then must sit in the corner like the dog, and then becomes silly and simple like the monkey.

The Gielgud Theatre in 2011 Beerbohm was 20 years old when he died, meaning that he was born in 1974 or 1975. According to one writer, he was born in the Globe Theatre (later renamed the Gielgud Theatre after actor and director John Gielgud) in London's West End in the 1970s; however, his obituary in The Stage states that he "arrived at the Globe during the run of Donkey's Years in 1976". Theatres historically maintained cats on the premises as a means of controlling vermin, but their role increased over time as actors came to see them as good-luck charms and a means of reducing stress. Beerbohm, a tabby cat, was named after Herbert Beerbohm Tree, an actor and theatre manager.
