True or False

It is only when the three brothers cease to seek Death that they finally find it.

The answer is false. Since only one got death by surprise. The youngest brother who got the invisibility cloak wanted death when he was old enough and embraced it, giving the cloak to his son. The second brother hung himself. The oldest got his throat slit in the night.

I'd say this statement is false.
Not all of the brothers sought death - two of them didn't even realize Death was after them. Two of the brothers were killed by Death while trying to escape it. Only the youngest brother sought Death after he had lived a full life of happiness, and Death embraced him as an old friend.
