The silly lawyer
Mr Johnson was a rich old man. He lived in a beautiful house in the country with lots of servants, but his wife was dead, and he did not have any children.
Then he died suddenly, and people said,”His servants killed him, because they wanted his money.”
But the servants said,”No, he killed himself”
The police came and asked the servants a lot of questions, and after a few weeks, there was a big trial. There were two famous lawyers and several important witnesses.
“Tell me” one of the lawyers said to a witness one day,”did Mr Johnson often tald to himself when he was alone?”
“I don’t know.”the witness answered at once.
“you don’t know?” the lawyer repeated angrily.”You don’t know? But you were his best friend, weren’t you? Why don’t you know?”
“Because I was never with him when he was alone.”the witness answered.
愚蠢的律師
約翰遜先生是一個富有的老人。他住在農村的一所有很多仆人的漂亮房子里,他的妻子已經去世了,而且他也沒有子女。
后來他突然故去了,人們說:“是他的仆人害了他,因為他們想要謀他的錢財”
可是他的仆人們說:“他自殺了”
警方向他的仆人們詢問了許多問題。幾周以后,有一個大的審訊,庭上有兩位知名的律師和幾個重要的目擊證人。
“告訴我”一位律師問一個目擊者,“約翰遜先生是不是在他自己單獨呆著時經常自己對自己說話?”
“我不知道”那位目擊者立刻回答道
“你不知道?”律師生氣地重復道。“你不知道?可你是他最好的朋友,是不是?為什么你會不知道呢?”
“因為在他單獨呆著的時候我從來沒有與他在一起。”那位目擊者回答道。
