Mor, a student of death. Pratchett T.

Meet: Death. Living skeleton in a raincoat and with a scythe (everything is as it should). A gloomy reaper ending the earthly path of all people.

Meetings with death cannot be avoided by anyone. But when a village boy of the pestilence meets him, death offers him a job.

Mor becomes an apprentice of a gloomy reap, and soon his teacher decides that he has the right to a day off - the first for his entire existence. But on the same day, Mor saves the young Princess Kelie instead of taking her life - and thereby violates the work of the entire universe...
