One day one of my soldiers ran up to me and said:
Captain! Captain! I was in town getting supplies and I saw Death! He saw me and pointed his finger at me! I must flee! If I leave now, I can get to Samarra before nightfall!
All right.
A short time later, I saw Death, and I scolded him.
Death, you scared away one of my best soldiers! Why what are you doing?
I'm sorry about that. It's just that I was surprised to see him here, that's all. I have an appointment with him tomorrow-- in Samarra.
