In the Courthouse
At last, the day of the legal proceeding arrived. After putting on his best suit, Albert took a car to pick up June. When they got to the courthouse, Mr. Johnson was there and pacing restlessly.
Mr Johnson presented his defense at the beginning of the case, saying that Albert was an elderly, disheveled guy who had lied about the wetlands, urged his young, robust neighbor to build him a road, and became irate when the driveway began to crumble. Even though it was a load of lies, Albert was afraid that a court would notice his white hair and side with Mr Johnson. He could not allow it to occur.
