story about himself. He says:
1T was when / used to practice law

neighbor was guilty because he had seen
the ducks in the defendants yard.
"'How do you know they are your
duoks?' / asked
"'Oh. should know my own ducks

gave description of their various pc
culiarities whereby he could readily dis

Why. saidI, those ducks can't be
of such rare breed. Ihave seen some just
like them in my own yard.

the farmer. for they are not the only
