> 11. The Tale of the Soldier, the Child, the Cat, and the Snake  
> investigation and reflection, they may travel into the depth of occurrences, and separate the pure essence of truth from the dregs of falsehood.  
> If there is room for pardon, they display the perfection of their bounty to leader and follower,  
> servant and master, low and noble, far and near, and manifest their own persons  
> in the sphere of munificence. Any king who does not pause in punishing bodies,  
> shedding blood, and violating the persons of creatures, will be seized in this world and the hereafter  
> by chastisement and regret, and thereafter remorse and sorrow will be neither beneficial nor effective;  
> just as that soldier was hasty in killing that cat, and when the beauty of  
> truth showed its face from behind the veil of suspicion, he suffered many regrets, and \[the cat\] proved to be his rescuer and savior,  
> and had been his supporter and protector." The shah asked: "How was that? Relate it!"
