The Wise Client

A pleader in a Lordship's Court Advised his defaulting client 'You say for every question 'Bey, Bey, ' as a dumb man.' To every question in the Court 'Bey, Bey' replied the client. 'You're here, you know why? ' 'Bey, Bey.' 'Did you borrow money? ' 'Bey, Bey.' 'Why you failed to pay? ' 'Bey, Bey.' 'Cheating is a crime, I say.' 'Bey, Bey.' 'You'll go to jail if you don't pay.' 'Bey, Bey.' The pleader interfered And said, 'My Lord, Never borrowed, my client, And he's quite innocent.' 'He's, by birth, a dumb man, And a penniless poor man. Who'll give this man broken Such an unsecured loan? ' 'No evidence is found Nor there's any loan bond. Therefore, there's no cause To hold this useless case.' The Court dismissed the case. To the pleader's demand for fees. 'Bey, Bey, ' the client said with ease, And walked out to his surprise.
