What you need to know before your trail

This book shows the pointlessness of war. In the story, which was selected for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum , the General is ready to go to war, but a duck has made a nest in the gun. While waiting for the eggs to hatch, the General runs out of money to pay his soldiers, so he strikes up a deal with the Prime Minister. When the duck finally hatches, the gun is clean and ready to be used again. But are the people used to living in peace or is war still the answer?
