Jack Evans quarreled with his neighbour，Ellen Brown. Mrs. Brown had a dog. Jack did not like dogs. He wanted Mrs. Brown to give away or sell her dog，but she refused.

“I'll take you to court if you don't，” he said.

Mrs. Brown laughed at him. She was not worried.

Jack thought，“I must talk to a lawyer, but lawyers are expensive. I don't want to waste my money. I will waste it if I don't win my case against Mrs. Brown and her dog.”?

Then Jack had an idea. There was a young lawyer in the town. He did not have much work. Not many people knew about him. “I'll visit him，” Jack thought. “He needs work.” He visited the young lawyer in his office. “I need some advice，” he said.

“Certainly，” the young lawyer said. “What is your problem? I am here to help you.”

“Good. I want to take my neighbour to court. However, I will pay for your advice only if you think I will win the case in court.”?

The lawyer was not pleased by this suggestion. However, he had very little work. Here was a chance to get some.?

“All right，” he said. “I agree. I will listen to your problem. I will give you honest advice. You will pay me only if I think you can win in court.”?

Jack told him about the problem. The lawyer listened carefully. Sometimes he made notes. When Jack finished, the lawyer sat back in his chair and said, “You will win your case. I have no doubt about it. May I take your case to court?”

Jack stood up and walked towards the door. “No, thank you,” he said. “I will not take it to court.”?

“What about my fee?” the lawyer asked. “You have to keep your promise.”

“I am keeping my promise,” Jack said. “I will not win in court. You see, I did not tell you my case. I told you Mrs. Brown's.”
