As the child was ready to enter this world, the creator came in her dreams and revealed a nightmare.

"Your fate has been sealed my child. You'll return back to me as soon as you go out there. You have just a handful of second to live."

The child felt really sad. She really wished to go out there and enjoy herself. But that was not to be.

"Can you grant me a last wish creator?"

The creator nodded and gestured her to ask.

"Can you make my hair grey?"

The creator was really confused. Why would a child who hasn't entered the world wish to have grey hair?

Sensing the confusion in the creator's eyes, the child explained herself.

"Grey hair would be a proof that I've lived."

Grey hair is something that we usually associate with old age.

But then, is it really a proof that we've lived?
