When Alexander the Great attacked the forces of Porus, an 
Indian soldier was captured by the Greeks. He had displayed 
such bravery in battle, however, that the enemy offered to 
let him choose how he wanted to be killed. They told 
him, "If you tell a lie, you will put to the sword, and if 
you tell the truth you will be hanged." 

The soldier could make only one statement. He made that 
statement and went free. What did he say?
