Once upon a time there was a dad and 3 kids. When the kids were adults, the dad was old and Death came to take the dad. The first son, who became a lawyer, begged Death to let the dad live a few more years. Death agreed. When Death came back, the second son, who became a doctor begged Death to let his father live a few more days. Death agreed. When Death came back the third son, who became a priest begged Death to let the dad live till that candle wick burned out and he pointed to a candle. Death agreed. The Third son knew Death wouldn't come back and he didn't. Why not?

OOH IVE GOT IT!
If you've got one candle, you can light another candle from it, then another, then another. The guy could just keep on lighting mroe candles when each one burned out. It would be the same candle, cause of the same fire!
Am I right? Ooh, I'm quite proud of myself!
