Question
"Why will you take by force what you may obtain by love? Why will you destroy us who supply you with food? What can you get by war? . . . We are unarmed, and willing to give you what you ask, if you come in a friendly manner. . . .

Take away your guns and swords, the cause of all our jealousy,or you may die in the same manner."
