I've never posted this on my blog before, so I didn't know exactly what info I needed to put in this, so I just copied the whole thing.
Here goes:
The immense, red-faced Judge Carnegie banged his gavel, as he bellowed,
“Silence, order in the court!”
Pandemonium had broken out when Mr. Smith, the lawyer
introduced his arbitrary client, a
small speckled dog. It trembled in fear, seated on the frigid, hard chair. Mr.
Smith glowered at the crowd. They were the cause of this diminution.
The judge shifted in his seat,
thinking this was all a circus act. Mr. Smith was temporizing and nothing else. How could this vermicular, little dog bring them a plausible explanation? He cleared his throat loudly and said, “Mr.
Smith, give us a perfunctory reason
why this animal is in my courtroom.”
“Well, Your Honor, he knows what
happened to Farmer Brown’s divining rod. It’s as simple as that.” Then he turned
to the dog.
“Spot, tell us in your own words,
what you know about the bifurcated
item.”
Try as he might, the poor dog could only
give a garbled testimony. He hung
his head. Then he showed a toothsome
grin and gave Mr. Smith a wink. He said, with élan, “Sir, Farmer Brown broke his rod beating me for swearing out
loud in English.”
