Maria had never been inside a courtroom before, so she felt nervous when she arrived on Monday morning.

She was there because her small shop had been damaged by a careless driver, and the case was finally going to court.

The judge, an older woman with a calm voice, explained that everyone would have a chance to speak.

Maria's lawyer showed photos of the broken window and the damaged wall.

The driver's lawyer argued that the damage was not serious, but the judge asked for the repair bill.

When she saw the high cost, she turned to the driver and said that fair rules protect everyone, rich or poor.

The driver agreed to pay for the repairs within one month.

After the hearing, Maria thanked the judge and walked out into the sunshine.

She felt that the law had treated her with respect, even though she was just a small business owner.

That evening, she told her family that justice is not a gift; it is a promise that society keeps to all its people.
