"I was sorry to lose it, and if you make me another one, I promise not to get taken captive by bandits and have to use it to save my life."

We think in youth that our bodies are identical to ourselves and have the same interests, but discover later in life that they are heartless companions who have been accidentally yoked with us, and who are as likely as not, in our extreme sickness or old age, to treat us with less mercy than we would have received at the hands of the worst bandits.
