A Fair Judge

In a small town, there was a judge named Mr.

Chen.

He worked in a court that handled small problems between neighbors.

One day, a farmer came to him, saying his neighbor's goats had eaten his vegetables.

The farmer was very angry and wanted the neighbor to pay a lot of money.

Mr.

Chen listened carefully to both sides.

He learned that the neighbor was poor and had no money to pay.

Instead of punishing the neighbor, Mr.

Chen asked him to help the farmer in his garden for two weeks.

The farmer agreed, and the neighbor was happy to work.

After two weeks, the two men became friends.

Mr.

Chen explained that the law should be fair to everyone.

It should not just punish people, but also help them solve problems.

The town people respected Mr.

Chen because he always tried to be fair.

His story teaches us that justice is not only about rules, but also about kindness.
