There was a wise soldier whose both feet were lame. He was off to war. A fellow soldier said to him.
“Oh, miserable one, where are you going? You won’t be able to escape, thus you will quickly be slain.”
The lame footed soldier replied.
“Oh mindless fellow, I am going to war not to flee from the battlefield, but to stay my ground, fight, and win the war.”
This is a fable by Vartan Ayhkegtzee (1142-1235).
