A great battle?occurred, and a Trumpeter?was captured.?
As the enemy?was about to put him to death, he begged them to hear his plea for mercy, “I neither fight nor carry a weapon.”
“That may be,” said the enemy, “but you encourage your men to the fight, and you lead them into battle for our destruction.”
Moral of the Story:?Sometimes words are as deeds. Words move us. Words of inspiration drive action.

Why We Loved It:??Words matter.
Words matter, because they are the bridge between and among our respective minds. Words matter because they attach us to each other in a thought, a prayer, an inspiration. Words matter because they can move us by moving our minds.
And, when words are recorded, they continue to work without regard to time. Consider Patrick Henry's Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death! speech, and Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
Aesop's point is well-illustrated by William Shakespeare, in Henry V, by this depiction of the Eve of Saint Crispin Day speech.
King Henry V is the quintessential Trumpeter.
Watch fear, like a virus, initially replicated in a conversation. Then watch King Henry convert the fear into courage to act. And, yes, those familiar phrases you'll hear, they originated in this passage by Shakespeare [1].
