One day a rich man started a dispute with a poor man. They came to court and sat there. But it must be said that the poor man’s defender was an experienced master of his craft, and his fame spread throughout the entire district. So, when the defense lawyer began to tell how poor his client was, he felt so sorry for the poor man that he began to sob quietly at first, and by the end of the speech he burst into loud sobs.
- What's wrong with you? – the judge was surprised.
“Oh, Mr. Judge,” the poor man answered, swallowing tears. - Woe is me. I didn’t think that I was so poor and unhappy, but I listened to Mr. Defender, and I began to feel sorry for myself.
