<h2>THE TRUMPETER TAKEN PRISONER</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Trumpeter marched into battle in the van of the army and put
courage into his comrades by his warlike tunes. Being captured by
the enemy, he begged for his life, and said, "Do not put me to
death; I have killed no one: indeed, I have no weapons, but carry
with me only my trumpet here." But his captors replied, "That is
only the more reason why we should take your life; for, though you
do not fight yourself, you stir up others to do so."</p>
