Short but very enjoyable.

A brief snippet into the absurdity of war.
The Prussian is boastful after his nation’s victory and the Frenchmen is crestfallen.

It reminds me of something i've read a couple of years ago.

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim,
define yourself"

The moral of this story ?

Be brave, but don't brag too much.

Awful when hungry,
otherwise pretty solid.

This story has an especially terrible bully taking on a peace loving merchant, who has his limits too.
