The Murderer's Execution

A man was to be executed for killing another man and leaving the dead man's wife widowed and his children fatherless. On the date of the execution, friends and family members for both the murderer and the victim assembled to watch the murderer die. Some hurled insults. Some wept.

Then just before the execution was to take place, the son of the victim stood up and cried, "Do not kill this murderer! Kill me instead!"

So the innocent boy was placed in a noose and hanged to save the wicked.
