by Aesop
A TRUMPETER, bravely leading on the soldiers, was captured by the enemy. He cried out to his captors: Pray spare me, and do not take my life without cause or without inquiry. I have not slain a single man of your troop. I have no arms, and carry nothing but this one brass trumpet.That is the very reason for which you should be put to death, they said; for while you do not fight yourself, your loud trumpet stirs up all the other soldiers to battle.
Moral:
He who incites strife is as guilty as they who strive.
Peace to all here
The Captain
