Dear Rose,
When I look at a beautiful rose like you, I love your rosy scent and the way how you look. When I see you, it reminds me of someone who I love and care about in my heart. A rose like you, brings me happiness and smiles to my face.
The Prisoners by Guy de Maupassant.
The Prussian soldiers were the detachment sent ahead of their army to scout the area they are planning to either conquer or attack. They were also tasked to search the area for people who were supporters of their enemy.
In the story, the Prussians were used to strike fear to the people. They were equated with wolves because encountering any of the two will surely bring about death.
