一个来自蒙大纳州的牧羊人触犯了法律，就雇了一个律师替他开脱罪名。律师认为那是件一目了然的案子，就建议牧羊人假装有一点"牧羊人病”。 牧羊人长年累月被一群咩咩叫的羊包围着，就都会患上牧羊人病。用不了多久，牧羊人就会发出像羊一样咩咩叫的声音了。 就在那个牧羊人出庭的那一天，他按照律师的建议，回答每一个问题都像羊一样悲惨地咩咩叫一声。最后，法官认定由于牧羊人与羊群不断接触，他已经变得不健全了，甚至已经完全痴呆了。故本案不予审理。 律师在外面的走廊里祝贺他打赢了官司，最后问道：“现在我的费用呢？” “咩咩。”牧羊人回答，然后就离开了法院。 Sheep herder’s Lawsuit A sheep herder from Montana fell afoul of the law and hired a lawyer to get him off if he could. The lawyer realized that it was an open and shut case, and advised the sheep herder to pretend that he had a bit of Sheep Herder's Complaint. Sheep Herder’s Complaint strikes the average man who is surrounded by the ever present baaing of sheep every day, week after week, year after year. Soon, the sheep herder’s sounds all begin to sound like the bleating of a sheep. When this particular sheep herder had his day in court, he followed his lawyer’s advice and answered every question with a mournful bleat like a sheep. The judge finally threw the case out, concluding that the sheep herder was incompetent and a complete numbskull from his constant contact with his flock. Outside in the hallway, his lawyer congratulated him on winning the case，and said " Now, how about my fee?” "Baa," replied the sheep herder and left the courthouse. |
