   (2) One day a motor car knocked a man. He was a very greedy man and he tried to get money every way that he could. He was not hurt after the accident but he told the judge that he was. "What is wrong with you" asked the judge. "I can't lift my hand any higher than that" said the man lifting his hand a small bit. "How high could you lift it before before the accident" said the judge. "I could lift it as high as that", said the man lifting his hand high above his head. The man forgot that he could only lift it a small bit, so he had to pay a big sum of money.
