AT HALLOWEEN

Once upon a time---- there was a little old lady living in peace and quiet with the company of her cats around enjoying the days of her "old age", rather the maturity of the time she lived.

One day she heard some knocking on the door

and she went to open

with the curious cats around.

"Who are you?"asked the old lady

" I am Death and came to take you with me".

The old lady answered:

" I am not ready, so please come tomorrow"

"OK" said the death and went away.

When tomorrow came at the same time Death was there again.

The Old Lady said:

"I told you to come tomorrow

not today "

Death went away again.

But eventually Death got angry

and yelled at the old Lady:

"I am taking you now there is no more tomorrow"

The Old Lady was just

drinking her tea dripping honey into it

and ran to her bed

grabbed the pillow what fell apart

and she put her head into it

with honey on her lips,

feathers flying all over

covering her face .

She looked so horrible and scary

that

DEATH ran away.

________________________________

Naturally the audience curiously asked:

"And she never died?"

Well the story ended when Death ran away

so we know only

That her spirit of loving life

and fighting death

THAT SPIRIT IS ALIVE

and lives in all those

ladies, who are just like her.

I found this story

when I was looking for something

to fit a

Halloween post in my Blog.
