It's possible you're misremembering the title or author. If you can provide more details about the story, like the plot or characters, I might be able to help you identify it.
For example, you could say:
* "It's a story about a man who is thought to be dead but is actually alive."
* "The story takes place in the American West."
* "The main character is a mischievous prankster."
With more information, I can try to find the story you're looking for.
