It happened that one day, Death met Life and she approached her, saying:
" As you well know, I have been looking for you, I want something from you, it is very special, I would like that you grant me one year, only one year."

Life answered: " No, don't even think about it, don't trouble yourself."

Time passed and passed, hundreds and hundreds of years and Death met Life again: "I have so many things to give you, so many. The other time, I asked for a year, but then, I realized that it was imprudent of me. Please, grant me the twelfth part, give me only one month."

Life said: "Never."

Time kept passing and passing, even more than before and Death met Life again and said: " You don't know how upset I have been, by not been able to see you, I lost weight, became pale, please, I need to say something, forgive me and grant me even one day."

Life answered: " If I said never, before, I repeat now , not to insist because between you and me, there is no possible conciliation, there is a great distance and I will not grant you not even a day."

Well, if time had passed before, now it was the double, the triple and then Death met Life again: " I have not seen you in a long time, now I am not even dry skin or bone, I am less than a shadow. I beg of you to forgive me for what I asked you before, but grant me please, one minute, only one minute."

"Don't even try to convince or confuse me, I am not going to give you that minute. Go, get out of my sight!"  said Life.

Time passed , so much that is impossible to count. And Death met Life. Death was crying and crying and was saying: " I don't have flesh, or bones, I am not even a shadow, I only have an inconsolable crying that I can't stop,  I have so much to give you. I beg your mercy, give me one moment only. "

 Life was moved, it was an indescribable crying that couldn't be defined and then Life said to Death: " Oh ghost, oh specter, your crying and wailing move me, but I will grant you only one moment."

" One moment is enough." Death answered.

Suddenly, Death became youthful, her bones became flesh, she had eyes, mouth; the eyes were shining, the mouth laughed and laughed saying:
" I did it, at last, I did it.!"  And in front of Death, there was the corpse of Life:
 One moment was enough for Death.
