Then the czar took up the pen and below the young soldiers question wrote the words "I, Alexander, Czar of Russia". Quietly, he turned away and went home.
The next morning the young officer woke up and immediately took hold of the revolver when suddenly he saw writing on his letter that he had not put there. He read the words of the Czar and in amazement he dropped the revolver. At that moment a messenger came to his tent with a bag of money from the Czar.
The young soldier's debt was paid and his life was spared.
