I don't want to talk about this. Something about death? Oh man, not today. It is my birthday and it is the New Year's day.

But if you read <Oscar and the Lady in Pink> just after finishing <Geronimo Stilton a Christmas Tale>, you read about their life, their Christmas, you will know how different they are, the happiness of joy and the sorrow of sad.

Oscar wasn't afraid of dying. He knew he would die in 12 days. He imagined one day in his last life is ten years. He wrote to God everyday. He hated his parents just because they didn't have enough courage to tell him he was going to die.

I can't believe how foolish Oscar was.

I am afraid of dying because I don't want to leave my mum. I can't imagine mum could smile again if I am not beside her any more. The most happy hour is all the whole family laughing together. Beside, I don't know what is to die. Many of my friends in hospital died years ago. They never showed up again. My little sister died before she was three years old, before we knew each other. Now I had to know her from some photos and the tears of mum in front of her tombstone every spring. If you die, you would never come bake again. Then where would you go? Does <The Great Blue Yonder> writes the truth?

Oh brother, I can't say any more...

I love mum, I want she smile everyday. I can't bear mum's tears before my tombstone.

Yes, I know, I can die with mum. As mum told me many years ago, she will be with me even to die. Mum will not let me go, mum will be with me for ever. But how about my father? how about my granny and my grandpa? They would have to spend their Chrimas without us. Would they laugh like now? Would they be happy like now? I am mum's little boy. If I die, mum would cry. Mum is granny's little girl. If mum die, granny would cry. And I don't think a father or a husband could hold on their tears when facing the dying of their child or wife.

I can't be such a grim boy!

I have a decision about our order to die. The first must be granny and grandpa, next is father, the last can be mum and me. This order can't go wrong. If they die first, they would not feel sad about our dying. If they die first, I know they would wait for us there, the place I don't know. Then I would not be afraid of dying any more. Beside, I have mum with me.

So from now on, I have a mission. No matter what happen, I must live longer than granny and grandpa, and even longer than father. They are my family. I want to see their smiling everyday, listen their laughing on call every day, spend our happy Chismas together every year. And don't forget the last important thing is getting my Christmas present and my birthday present from my family every year. Everything they give me is lovely.
