an old e. "death" immediately appeared in answer to his summons and asked for what reason he had called him. the old man hurriedly replied, "that, lifting up the load, you may place it again upon my shoulders."

有个老头在森林里砍了一捆柴，然后背着去集市上卖。忙碌了一天的老头非常疲惫，就把木柴放下来，在路边休息。然后他开始呼唤死神。死神马上就现身了，问他，为何要把他叫来。老头回答说:“我想也许你可以帮我把这捆柴重新放到我的背上。”

谨慎对待自己的要求。
