Acsimet - Don't ruin my drawing

After several failed attempts, the enemy asked for a truce and exchanged prisoners. The people of Syracuse, who loved peace, immediately accepted their offer.

Acsimet said that at the end of the war, he was able to think about his pictures and problems on the beach. The people of Syracuse also said that exchanging prisoners was synonymous with the declaration of war ending, they were about to celebrate the victory.

The victory celebration day has come, everyone dances and sings, celebrates, and the whole city is in happiness. It wasn't until late at night when people were drunk and dragged to the lodge, even the soldiers standing guard and drowsily leaning against the walls, dozing off and falling asleep.

But it was at this moment that the small boats quietly turned the waves, landed and slipped into the city, almost none of the soldiers knew, they divided the guards.

On the second day, when it was morning, when the people of Syracuse still did not wake up, the sound of the enemy's commands was heard all over the city.

"Damaged! The enemy has entered the city".

"The country has been taken over by the enemy."

Everyone was horrified, ran out of trouble, suddenly there was no commander, no organization, no preparation, they turned into loose sand grains, lost their fighting power.

Enemies can be reached in the city 's redundancy opening the door, easily dragged into the castle.

Where is Acsimet? He was poring over his work on the sand, the enemy entered the city, he did not notice. He did not hear the screams of the enemy nor heard the cry of his compatriots.

Suddenly there was a black shadow in front of Acsimet, kicking his foot on his sand figures. Acsimet was annoyed because his country had no such rude person. "Hey, you're stealing all my drawings, get out!"

But the other invading soldiers didn't know who he was, they heard someone daring to scold them, and roared to kill him.

At that time, Acsimet knew that standing in front of him was an enemy. He said in a low voice to this soldier, "Excuse me, can you wait a bit? Don't ruin my drawings, I have to finish it."

But the ignorant soldier did not appreciate science, it killed Acsimet mercilessly. That year Acsimet was 75 years old.

The enemy commander after advancing into the city went everywhere to find Acsimet, ordered not to kill this intellectual old man, he admired Acsimet with utmost respect. After learning that Acsimet had been killed, he was deeply sorry. He chased the attacker out of the city and then held the funeral ceremony of Acsimet very solemnly and set up a tombstone.

Acsimet lived more than 2,000 years ago, but his intellect, his moral qualities, and many of his stories have circulated today, his inventive inventions and strange discoveries. transcending time and space becomes the eternal property of mankind.
