Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude KCB, CMG, DSO was a British Army officer. He is known for his operations in the Mesopotamian campaign during the First World War and for conquering Baghdad in 1917.
Upon arrival to Iraq he came across a shepherd and his herd in a field.
He asked his translator to offer a shilling to the shepherd to slaughter the dog.
The dog is a very important companion to a shepherd.
It warns him of all dangers, and guards the herd from wolves and thieves, but at that time, with a shilling one could buy half a herd.
The shepherd agreed to the deal, grabbed his dog and slaughtered it at the feet of the general.
General Maude said to the shepherd ..
"I'll give you an additional Shilling to skin the dog".
The shepherd took the Shilling and skinned the dog.
Then the General offered the shepherd a third Shilling to cut the dog into quarters, the shepherd took the Shilling and chopped the dog.
The Shepherd told the General that for a fourth Shilling he would eat the dog, and the general answered, ..
"I wanted to learn about your values in this country, and I discovered that you slaughtered, skinned and chopped your most trusted friend and companion for three Shillings. You were even ready to eat it for an additional one. That's all I needed to learn about your country."
Then he addressed his soldiers and said, ..
"As long as this kind of mentality prevails in this country and you can buy anyone, don't fear anything and no one."
Since that time and till our days, in that part of the world, officials have sold their countries, their people, their friends, their honor and their principles for a house in Europe and a bank account in Switzerland.
