One day he was sitting beside the window of his house. Then he saw a bird seller with the number of birds in the cages. Seeing the condition of the birds, the soldier took pity on them. Then he remembered his own condition in the French prison. The soldier bought all the cages and set the birds free. The bird seller was surprised to see the strange act of the man.
