Beschrijving
Sword Turns to Wood. A king disguises himself and visits an inn. There he meets a soldier who has sold his saber to buy drinks. The king asks him how he will salute, and the soldier replies that he has bigger problems than that. He later substitutes a wooden sword for his saber.
The next day, the king orders the soldier to behead his friend (another man). The soldier prays to God to turn his sword into a piece of wood so that he will not have to kill his friend (if the man is innocent). The king forgives him.
