+                        THE SEVEN OLD SAMURAI
+
+   Once upon a time, in far off Japan, a band of fierce robbers had their 
+hiding place on top of a mountain almost always covered with grey clouds, 
+windswept and battered by storms. The robbers lived in a large cave where they
+had piled their spoils. Now and again, they went down the mountain, attacked a
+village, murdered the poor folk they chanced upon, stole whatever they could 
+lay hands on and burned it to the ground. Wherever the robbers passed, there 
+was nothing but smoking ruins, weeping men and women, misery, mournlng and 
+desolation.
+   The Emperor, worried at this, had sent his soldiers to attack the mountain,
+but the robbers had always managed to drive them off. The Emperor sent for one
+of the last remaining Samurai, old Raiko, and said to him:
+   "Raiko, you've served me for many years. Do my bidding for one last time. 
+Go to the mountain at the head of an army and wipe out these bloodthirsty 
+bandits." Raiko sighed.
+   "Your Majesty, if I were young again I'd do it alone. Today I'm too old, 
+far too old to do that, or to command an army."
+   "Must I then," said the Emperor, "submit to the force of these marauding 
+robbers?" The old Samurai replied:
+   "No, I'll go up there with six Samurai like myself."
+   "But if they're all as old as you, how can they help you?"
+   "Have faith in us!" said Raiko.
+   A few days later, the seven Samurai set off on their journey, not with 
+horses, swords, shields and armour, which they could no longer have worn 
+anyway, but dressed as humble pilgrims. From the summit, the bandits watched 
+them come, and their leader said,
+   "Who cares about seven beggars. Let them climb up." The seven reached the 
+cave and Raiko humbly said,
+   "Let us come in, it's cold outside. There's a wind blowing and we, as you 
+can see, are old men. We'll be no trouble to you." The leader of the gang 
+scornfully replied:
+   "Come in, old men, and stay in a corner." And so. the seven pilgrims 
+huddled in a corner while the bandits ate their meal of food stolen from the 
+villages nearby.
+   Now and again, they threw scraps of food and leftovers to the old men, 
+saying: "Eat this, and it is much too good for you." A few hours later, Raiko 
+rose to his feet saying:
+   "The wind has dropped. We can go on our way. In thanks. for your 
+hospitality, we would like to offer you this liqueur, it is sake, rice wine. 
+Drink our health with it." The robbers needed no second telling. In the blink 
+of an eye, they had emptied the goatskin bottle Raika held out to them. And in
+the blink of an eye they all lay dead, for the sake contained a very potent 
+poison. And so, the seven Samurai, too old to wield a sword, served the 
+Emperor for the last time.
