GOD created the DONKEY and told him, 'You will work
tireless from sunrise to sunset, carrying heavy loads on your back, eat grass,
you won’t be intelligent and you will live 45 years DONKEY you will remain!'
The DONKEY answered and said “Lord, I agree to be a DONKEY, but living 45 years
is too much, give me only 15 years!' and GOD granted him 20 years.
GOD created DOG and told him ' You will look after man's house, be his best friend, eat whatever they give you, bark when ever unwanted persons approaches and live for 25years, You will be a DOG!' The DOG answered 'GOD, living 25 years is too much, give me only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.
GOD created the MONKEY and told him, 'you will jump from branch to branch, do silly things, you will be amusing to children and you will live 20 years, you will be a MONKEY!' The MONKEY answered ' GOD, living 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.
Finally,
GOD created MAN and told him, 'you will be a MAN the only rational being on this earth and you will use your intelligence to control other animals, you will dominate the world and you will live for 20 years.
The MAN answered, GOD I will be a man but living 20 years is not enough, why don't you give me the 30 years that the DONKEY refused, the 15 years that DOG didn't want and the 10 years that the MONKEY rejected ?' That’s how men came about 75years.
Like others God granted human’ request though, but with a caveat (the years will be granted with their duties attached) and since then:

MAN lives 20 years like a MAN, then he gets married
and spends 30 years he borrowed from like a DONKEY, working and carrying all sorts of load on his back,
eating grasses (vegetable) all over the places, then when his children grows ,
he spends 15 years he borrowed from like DOG looking after the house and eating
whatever is given to him and challenging suspected bad friends of his children.
Then he gets old, retires and spends 10 years borrowed from like a MONKEY,
jumping from house to house or from children to children, doing silly things,
singing rhymes to amuse his grandchildren
