Long ago in an Ancient Provence robbers were terrorizing the people. The Mandarin leader had but one Ancient Samurai who he sent to rid the Provence of the robbers.
The Ancient Samurai no longer had the strength to do battle so he dressed as a traveler and brought with him a skin of poison saki. The Ancient Samurai walked along the path known to be the territory of the robbers and was promptly captured by them. The Ancient Samurai said may I have a drink of saki before I die. The robbers grabbed the saki skin and each took a drink from it and died.
The Ancient Samurai knew no one was too old to do some good for his
fellow man.
