Nov272025
Once upon a time there was a dad and 3 kids. When the kids were adults, the dad was old and Death came to take the dad. The first son, who became a lawyer, begged Death to let the dad live a few more years. Death agreed. When Death came back, the second son, who became a doctor, begged Death to let his father live a few more days. Death agreed. When Death came back, the third son, who became a priest, begged Death to let the dad live till that candle wick burned out, and he pointed to a candle. Death agreed. The third son knew Death wouldn’t come back, and he didn’t.
The third son went over and blew out the candle after Death left because the son said “till the candle wick burns out”, not “till the candle burns out”.
