My Opinion towards Godfather Death by Jakob and Wilhem Grimm

i choose this short story- Godfather Death by Jakob and Wilhem Grimm for choice of my position paper. this story has a lot of moral values that we could learn from it. Firstly, the godson has being passed to a deathman as his godfather. So, this deathman said he will make his godson to be a well-known doctor and a rich man. Then, the people all around the world would bring their sickness to this godson. But, this godson never respect to his godfather at all. He thought that whatever he does his godfather will just turn a blind eye. At first, he cured a king who is supposed to be death but his godfather forgive him but he did the second time for the princess. This is in order for him to marry the princess and become a king so he did it. At the end, this godson dies because he ignores godfather's warning. Due to godson's uncontrolled desire for the power has leads him to become a well-known doctor but at the same time he sacrifices his life too. In this world, all the things are fair enough. If somebody get something special from god, for sure he will lose something in the same time too. We could not act so selfish in order to get what we want to because whatever in this world it is always fair. This is my opinion towards this short story. It is a great story.
