Immediately the thought came to his mind that his daughter was praying for people and they were dying!

He was so scared that he couldn't go to sleep at all that night. When the sun came up, he was very much relieved, he was sure what his daughter said in her prayers was only coincidence, and as he went out to go to work that morning he looked in the driveway and saw the milkman lying there dead....
