"Do you believe them?"
"No; I shall kill them, because they have lied to me and my people."
"Why do you wish to kill them? Will that do you or your people any good?"
"Then what can I do with people who deceive us?"
"Teach them to understand and know that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. When you do that you are also teaching the people what is right. If you kill them you are teaching people revenge, and revenge will not help them."
"You are telling me something new and strange. My people would not understand that. They would think I feared to punish."
"The white man does not think so. He believes that each man is entitled to his life. If he does wrong, he may be deprived of his liberty, and made to labor for others, and pleasures kept from him, but that his life should not be taken from him, unless he has committed the greatest crime against the people."
"What is the greatest crime?"
"The killing of another."
