The trumpeter taken prisoner A trumpeter was captured by his enemy in a battle. When they were about to kill him, he begged them to have mercy on him. I am not a warrior, said he. I only blow the trumpet. It cannot harm you; then why should you kill me? You may not fight with a weapon, said the others, but you encourage and guide your men to the fight. 号兵 ●在一场战争中，有个号兵被敌人抓获了。 ●在他们准备杀他时，他求他们对他仁慈一些。 ●我不是勇士，他大声叫道,我仅有把铜号，它又不能伤人，你们为什么要杀我呢? ●你没有武器来战斗，敌人对他说,但是你却召集你们所有的士兵来攻打我们。 寓意: 人们更痛恨那些怂恿他人作恶的人。 |
