The judge could hear two men shouting at each other."It was lucky I was passing by,"thought the judge."There is clearly an argument going on,and I am going to solve it." Excuse me!!”said the judge in a loud voice to the crowd..“Please let me through.”①When people turmned and saw the judge,they quickly moved aside to let him pass through. The two men who were arguing saw the judge coming near.2Then they stopped shouting and bowed to the judge."Please help us solve our argument,"they said. "Tell me what happened,"the judge said to the merchant who owned the shop that sold chickens. "This farmer killed one of my chickens,"said the merchant."Now he must pay for it!" The judge asked to see the dead chicken."It is quite a small young chicken,"said the judge. "That is true,"said the merchant."But in another two years that chicken would have grown large and fat.I can get 100 coins for a large,fat chicken.This farmer owes me 100 coins!" 3The farmer was too afraid to speak.A hundred coins was a huge amount of money for him. Everyone in the town,including the judge,knew the farmer couldn't make enough money to buy clothes for his many children. I order you to pay this merchant 100 coins,"the judge said to the farmer.4The crowd stood there with their mouth open m surprise.How could the farmer ever pay?The greedy merchant was overjoyed The judge turned to the merchant."How much grain does a chicken eat in two years?"asked the judge. “One large sack of grain,.”said the merchant.He exaggerated(夸张)to prove the high price he charged for his dead chicken. "By killing this chicken,the farmer has saved you a large sack of grain,"said the judge."I order you to give the sack of grain you have saved to the farmer." The merchant turned pale and hung his head.A large sack of grain was worth much more than 100 coins. "I forgive this man for killing my chicken,"said the merchant."I will take no money from him,as long as I do not have to give him a sack of grain."
