-It was not Death threat-response-but surprise. Because I saw there, so far from Samarra, and this afternoon I have to pick it up there.
The servant arrives to his master's house white and trembling.
ReplyDelete'Sir', he says 'I saw Death at the marketplace and she made a threatening gesture at me'
The master lends his horse and gives him some money: 'Take this and go to Samarra'.
So the servant flees.
Later, that afternoon, the master sees Death at the marketplace and says:
'This morning you made a threatening gesture to my servant'
Death replied: 'It was not a threatening gesture, it was a start of surprise for I saw him faraway from Samarra, and this afternoon I have to pick him up there'.
