There is 80s man in Ethiopia still living. He used to live alone in his house supported by his children and grand children. Every day after his breakfast, he walks the whole day in different streets. When he walks, he looks back now and then. I heard the man replying to a journalist in the Ethiopian Television when asked why he walks every day and why he looks back while walking. His answer was, “I walk everyday not to be caught by death; I look back to check whether death is following me or not; I never walk in the same street because death will study and catch me if I go on the same street”

The man’s speech was from heart and innocent. In fact he lived 80s but is that God’s mercy and because he hides himself from death? Unknowingly, the man did good that he made good exercise and used to live long!

It's amazing to see that in Africa, 80 is extremely old, where in North America, we would be writing this type of story about someone who is at least 100.
