The Lawyers
There were two lawyers, Alfred and Bertram. Alfred once borrowed a GREat deal of money from Bertram. He promised to pay him back on the day he won his first case in court. But Alfred was lazy and never took on a case.
At first Bertram didn’t mind, but after five years he got tired of waiting for his money. He decided to take Alfred to court to get the money back.
On the day of the trial they both came to the court feeling happy and confident (自信). Alfred was sure that whether he won or lost in court he wouldn’t need to pay Bertram the money back.Bertram, on the other hand, was sure he’d get his money back.Can both of them have been right?
