By the way, I once read a short story that featured a young boy who came to live with a childless couple. He was well-behaved and gave them much joy, but eventually, after a few years, he told them that he had to leave.

It turned out that he didn't grow old. He spent his life going from one caretaker to the next, always moving when his never-changing appearance might start raising suspicion.
Was this a children's story? It sounds like a fairy tale.

No, it was for adults. I think it was in an sf anthology or magazine.
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist
