Legend Of The Appointment In Samarrah

Legend Of The Appointment In Samarrah

A Servant overheard in the market place that death was looking for him,
He raced home and told his master he must flee to the neighboring
town to Samarrah so that death would not find him.

After supper that night there was a knock upon the door.
The master opened it and saw death standing there in his long black robes
And hood.
Death inquired after the servant. “He is ill in bed” lied the master
Hastily “He is too sick to be disturbed”

“That’s odd” said death
“Then he is surely in the wrong place, for I had an appointment with him tonight at midnight in Samarrah”
