Once upon a time, there were three brothers who were traveling along a lonely winding road at twilight in time. The brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these brothers knew the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water. They were halfway across it when they found their path was blocked by a hooded figure, none other than death himself. And then Death spoke to them. Death was angry that he had been cheated out of his three new victims for travelers usually drowned in the river, but death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate three brothers upon their magic and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him. So the oldest brother, who was a combative man asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. A wand that must always been duels for its owner award worthy of a visit who had conquered death. So, death crossed to an elder tree on the banks of the river, fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there and gave it to the oldest brother. Then the second brother was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate death still further and asked for the power to recall others from death. So death picked up a stone from the river bank and gave it to the second brother and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead, and then death asked the third and youngest brother what would he like? The youngest brother was the humblest, and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust death. So he asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by death and death, most unwillingly handed over his own cloak of invisibility. Then deaths to decide, and allowed the three brothers to continue on the way, and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they'd had, and admiring deaths, gifts. In due course the brothers separated each for his own destination. The first brother traveled on for a week or more, and reached a distant village. He thought out a fellow with that with whom he had a quarrel naturally with the elder wand as a weapon. He could not fail to win the duel that followed, leaving his enemy dead upon the floor. The oldest brother proceeded to an inn, where he boasted loudly of his powerful bond he had snatched from death himself, and of how it made him invincible. That very night another without crept upon the oldest brother as he lay wine sodden upon his bed. The thief took his wand, and for good measure slipped the old brothers thought, and so death took the fourth brother for his own. Meanwhile the second brother journeyed to his own home, where he lived alone. Here he took out the stone that had the power to recall the dead, and turned it thrice in his hand to his amazement and his delight, the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry before her, untimely death appeared at once before him. Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him, as by a veal. Though she had returned to the mortal wall, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally, the second brother, driven mad by hopeless longing, killed himself first to truly join her, and so death took the second brother for his own. But though death searched for the third brother for many, many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the cloak of invisibility and gave it to his son, and then he greeted death as an old friend and went with him gladly and equals. They departed This life
