Duck, Death and the Tulip

The encounter between the duck and death is a story with an inevitable ending, but unexpectedly funny and light. It tells a simple story, namely that death has been with us since we were born; understanding it helps us not to be afraid of it, to feel less lonely and perhaps even to live more consciously.
