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.
愚蠢的律师
约翰逊先生是一个富有的老人。他住在农村的一所有很多仆人的漂亮房子里,他的妻子已经去世了,而且他也没有子女。
后来他突然故去了,人们说:“是他的仆人害了他,因为他们想要谋他的钱财”
可是他的仆人们说:“他自杀了”
警方向他的仆人们询问了许多问题。几周以后,有一个大的审讯,庭上有两位知名的律师和几个重要的目击证人。
“告诉我”一位律师问一个目击者,“约翰逊先生是不是在他自己单独呆着时经常自己对自己说话?”
“我不知道”那位目击者立刻回答道
“你不知道?”律师生气地重复道。“你不知道?可你是他最好的朋友,是不是?为什么你会不知道呢?”
“因为在他单独呆着的时候我从来没有与他在一起。”那位目击者回答道。
