The Trumpeter Taken Prisoner
A Trumpeter during a battle ventured too near the enemy and was captured
by them. They were about to proceed to put him to death when he begged them to
hear his plea for mercy. "I do not fight." said he, "and indeed carry no
weapon; I only blow this trumpet, and surely that cannot harm you; then why
should you kill me?"
"You may not fight yourself," said the others, "but you encourage and
guide your men to the fight."
"Words May Be Deeds."
