Three Rogues and the Violinist

Another story about the all-conquering power of art. In the city there lived a boy who learned to play the violin. He was very talented. And at concerts after his performances, the audience stood up and applauded him. And three bandits were operating in the city, who had no idea what beautiful classical music was. The bandits robbed everything they could get their hands on. They ransacked the pockets of passers-by, took things out of apartments, unscrewed light bulbs from lanterns, and even ripped off telephone sets. And one day, when the violinist was returning from a concert, the bandits attacked him too. They demanded to give the boy's violin, but he flatly refused.
