"The Assyrians (...) are battle-hardened soldiers: as soon as they enter the army, they plant a tree, then every day they jump over the place where the seed was planted. The seed will become a shoot, and they will jump over that as well. A plant grows from the shoot and they jump over it. (...) The tree grows slowly, and the fighters have to jump bigger and bigger. They prepare to overcome obstacles with patience and devotion.

""Az asszírok (...) harcedzett katonák: amint bekerülnek a seregbe, fát ültetnek, majd mindennap átugorják a helyet, ahová a magot ültették. A magból hajtás lesz, s ők azt is átugorják. A hajtásból növény nő, és ők átugranak fölötte. (...) Lassacskán megnő a fa, és a harcosoknak egyre nagyobbat kell ugraniuk. Türelemmel, odaadással készülnek az akadályok leküzdésére."
