This story was told to me by one of my classmates.

A couple once took their only child to an amusement park. The child was very special because it was born after many years of marriage. The couple watched lovingly as the child played. After sometime, the husband noticed a group of children few yards away from them. A lonely and shy little boy caught his attention. He was sitting all alone, away from the group and noone seem to take any interest in him.

Feeling pity on the boy, the couple went near him and lovingly offered to send him in one of the Giant Wheel rides with their child. He looked at them calmly and said "Don't send your child on the ride. Death is watching". Thinking that the boy was afraid of the Giant Wheel, the couple went ahead with their child. Unfortunately there was an accident and the couple lost their only child.

One evening, a few months later, the couple decided to drive down to the town to buy some grocery. On reaching the town the wife decided to walk down the shop while her husband waited in the car. It was the market day and the street was crowded. Suddenly the husband saw the little boy. The boy walked up to him and said calmly "Dont let you wife cross the road. Death is watching". The wife had just begun crossing the road when a big vehicle ran over her.

Unable to bear this loss, the man decided to move out of their home. One night a few days before he planned to move out there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door he saw the little boy. The little boy looked at him and calmly said "Don't enter your bedroom today. Death is watching".

The man finally lost his patience. He held the little boy by his arm and said "Why have you been saying all this? If death interests you so much, tell me when are you going to die!". The boy looked at him and calmly replied "I died 20 years ago".

The man almost fainted in his living room. The neighbors heard a loud crashing sound from his bedroom. The chandelier in his bedroom had fallen from the ceiling.
