1. It was only a few days ago that I got up unusually early at around 4am.

2. I got up when I heard a very loud noise of people crying.

3. I was alone in my room and my parents were there in their own room.

4. I was initially confused as to where the noise came from but when I found out about the death in the neighbourhood, I was upset and restless. 

I have heard the saying early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. However, after making multiple attempts to follow this saying, I am unable to get up early in the morning. I am only able to do so in exceptional cases, otherwise I am not an early morning bird. Few days ago, I heard a blaring noise at around 4 a.m. and I have a very strong hearing ability and even the slightest of sounds do not escape my ears. I got up to check the source of sound. When I looked out of the window to figure out the source, I could not really make out because I was very sleepy. The noise got louder and it seemed like people were mourning a death. My guess was right an old man in the neighbourhood who had been suffering from a severe heart condition and many such issues for almost 2 weeks had passed away. He was the most helpful person in the locality and was loved by his family and every living person or animal in the neighbourhood. His demise was very sad for me because I was dearly attached to him. He always gave me a candy whenever I greeted him and he wore a very positive and radiating smile. I woke up my parents as they had not heard the noise.  Their bedroom is on the other side of the house. They instantly rushed to the house next door. I was unable to sleep and the whole day I was upset. I realized life is very uncertain and everything is transitory. To conclude, the demise of the beloved old man made me realize the truth the we only leave footprints in the sands of time like he did. We should do live ethically and be remembered for good. 

Followups:

4. Is it easy for you to get up early? (I am not habitual of getting up early and it is not an easy task for me. I only do it when I have no choice.)

5. What do you do to guarantee a good sleep? (To guarantee a good sleep, I ensure that I do not do anything unethical intentionally and I also try to complete all the tasks planned for the day to avoid any stress in my sleep.)

6. Can you sleep well if there is noise around? (No, I am unable to sleep in a noisy environment.)
