一个大城市律师负责处理农夫和铁路公司的纠纷。农夫发现自己一头很值钱的奶牛在地里不见了，而铁路恰好是经过他地里。于是他便起诉铁路公司赔偿他的奶牛。治安法官在杂货店后的屋子里对该案进行审判。辩护律师一开始就为难农夫，想要庭外和解。 农夫的律师竭尽全力，想和被告谈判，农夫一句话也插不上。农夫最终同意铁路公司只赔偿一半。农夫在判决书上签字后拿到了支票,年轻的律师忍不住自我夸耀一番,对农夫说:“你知道，我不想告诉你这些的，如果我不找个人作伪证，就不可能赢这场官司。那天早晨火车经过的农场时，机师在睡觉，火夫在守车。我没有找到一个现场证人。" 农夫回答说：“好吧，那我告诉你，小伙子，你赢了官司我倒有点担心了。那头该死的奶牛今天早晨自己回来了！" Lawyer vs. Farmer A big city lawyer was called in on a case between a farmer and a large railroad company. The farmer noticed that his prize cow was missing from the field through which the railroad passed. He filed suit against the railroad company for the value of the cow. The case was to be tried in the back room of the general store. The attorney immediately cornered the farmer and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best to keep the conversation moving, not letting the farmer get much of a word in. The farmer finally agreed to take half of what he was claiming to settle the case. After the farmer signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer hate to tell you this, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn’t have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your farm that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand.” The old farmer replied, "Well, I’ll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself. That durned cow came home this morning!” |
