Ответы
Спартанцы жили в той части Южной Греции, называемой Лаконией. Иногда люди называют их спартанцами, иногда лаконианцами. Те люди были очень храбрыми, и их образ жизни был очень простым. Одно из их правил было то, что они должны всегда говорить очень кратко, не используя слов больше, чем необходимо.

В северной Греции была страна, именуемая Македонией, находящаяся под властью короля Филиппа. Филипп хотел стать главой всей Греции. Он имел отличное войско и завоевывал государство за государством. Но хотя его сила была так велика, Лакония осталась свободной. Когда Филипп достиг Лаконии, он послал письмо храбрым спартанцам, в котором говорилось: "Если я покорю вашу страну, я сравняю ваш великий город с землей". Через несколько дней он увидел ответ, который ему принесли. Открыв письмо, он обнаружил только одно слово, написанное в нем. Это слово было "если".
