‘Conversation Between Life and Death’: Short story by Janvi Sharma, Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar 

Once two friends met, namely life and
death. They had several questions for each
other. With hesitation death told life that he
had some questions and the conversation
between them is as follows-

Life: Hi Death, how are you?
Death: I am fine but not fine as I have some
questions from you.
Life: My friend! Why are you hesitating to ask
from me, I am your best friend and will give
the answer to your every question.
Death: But…. What will people say?
Life: Dear! Friendship is not about thinking
what people think as it is the opinion of you
and me which actually matters.

Death: You are right, I feel.
Life: Now it’s time to answer your questions and
make your mind more relaxed.
Death: Life! First tell me why people love
you but hate me so much. I always feel that I am bad.
Life: No death, you don’t need to feel bad as it
is not your mistake and I am loved and you are
hated as I am a beautiful lie and you are a
bitter truth.
Death: But if I am a bitter truth, why
people cry on my arrival?
Life: It is because of affection. Affection is
something that one has with their loved ones
and you lead to their end.

Death: I think you are right but I get the soul
connected to God why none is thankful for
it to me?
Life: Though your point is truly true but,
human nature cannot understand it as human
nature is centralized at that time due to
separation from their loved ones.
Death: If I am there to make everyone cry then
why am I even there?
Life: No death, you have a lot of worth if you
were not there then how a new beginning will
be there as where there is a end there is a
beginning, if you were not there then there
might be no life cycle as it is the same soul
revolving over time.
Death: I think you are right. I didn’t understand it before
. Thank you so much life.
Life: That’s what best friends do? Don’t they?

Death: I need to go urgently so it’s time to say
by.
Life: Yeah sure!
Death: Bye
Life: Bye! See you again.

So, we get to understand that everyone has a
worth, it’s just that one needs to understand it.
