Alexander and the Pirate
“Once upon a time a famous pirat prisoner was brought in front of Alexander the Great. Alexander asked him:’Why do you infest the seas with so much audacity and freedom?’. The pirat answered:’ For the same reason because you infest the earth; but becasue i do it with a little nship, i’m called pirat; because you do it with a big fleet you’re called emperor’”.
