Hi - a retured librarian friend of mind is seeking the title of a short story (he thinks) her son read while in middle school or junior high school about 14 - 15 years ago. The story line, as he can remember it, is as follows: An Indian peasant goes to the market place where he runs into Death (in the form of a person). He returns home and tells his master about the encounter. He then tells his master that he needs to visit relatives in Sumatra. After he leaves, the master goes to the market place and asks Death why he is scaring his peasants. Death replies that he was as surprised to see the peasant as the peasant was to see him because he had an appointment with the peasant in Sumatra. any answers? I would be most grateful if someone could share the title of this story.
