The Two Pots

  TWO SOLDIERS traveling together were set upon by a Robber. The

  one fled away; the other stood his ground and defended himself

  with his stout1 right hand. The Robber being slain2, the timid

  companion ran up and drew his sword, and then, throwing back his

  traveling cloak said, "I'll at him, and I'll take care he shall

  learn whom he has attacked." On this, he who had fought with the

  Robber made answer, "I only wish that you had helped me just now,

  even if it had been only with those words, for I should have been

  the more encouraged, believing them to be true; but now put up

  your sword in its sheath and hold your equally useless tongue,

  till you can deceive others who do not know you. I, indeed, who

  have experienced with what speed you run away, know right well

  that no dependence3 can be placed on your valor4."
