King Matt the First Quote III

"But I'm a soldier!" cried Matt. "You have the right to shoot me, but not to hang me."
"You think you're so smart," shouted the officer. "Now look what he wants. Maybe now you're a soldier, but back then you were Tomek and you betrayed us. And we are going to hang you."
"You can't hang me," Matt insisted, "because I was a soldier then, too."

-King Matt the First, Janusz Korczak
