One man went to visit, and everyone there asked him to tell him something interesting.
“Willingly,” he said. “One day the angel of death came to my father,” he began his story, “to take his soul.” And the father went ahead and killed the angel of death.
- Enough! You're making it up! - people exclaimed.
“Ask my mother if you don’t believe me.”
-Where is your mother?
- At home.
They went to his house to talk to his mother, but it turned out that she was mute.
-Your mother can't speak! - they told him.
“Very good,” he answered, “apparently she went numb right after I went to visit.”
