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。
