一个律师的狗挣开绳索跑了，直奔肉店偷了块烤肉。
Butcher goes to lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
屠夫去律师的办公室问他：“如果一个人的狗跑到我店里偷了块肉，我有没有权利要求狗的主人付账?”
The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."
律师回答“当然。”
"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."
“那你欠我8.5美元，你的狗跑掉了，偷了我家一块肉。”
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for$8.50.
律师什么也没说，就给他开了8.5美元的支票。
Several days later the butcher opens the mail and finds anenvelope from the lawyer: $20 due for a consultation.
几天后，屠夫打开邮箱，看到一封来自律师的信：20美元咨询费。
