A baker regularly purchased butter from a neighboring farmer. One day, he suspected that a pound of butter, which should have weighed three pounds, was lighter than it appeared. He began weighing the butter periodically and found that it was consistently underweight, meaning he was overpaying each time.
Furious, the baker filed a lawsuit with the law enforcement agencies, and the case eventually reached a judge.
“Do you not have a scale at home?” the judge asked the farmer.
“Yes, Your Honor, I do have a scale,” the farmer replied.
“Do you have accurate standard weights?”
“No, Your Honor. I don't need standard weights.”
“If you don't have standard weights, how do you weigh the butter?”
“It's quite simple,” the farmer answered. “During the time the baker was buying butter from me, I was also buying bread from him. I always requested the same weight of bread and used these loaves as the weights for measuring the butter. If the weights were inaccurate, it was not my fault, but his.”
In the end, the judge found the farmer not guilty, and the baker was left to bear the costs of the litigation himself.
一位面包师长期从邻居农民那里购买黄油。某天，他怀疑原本应为三磅的黄油分量不足，于是开始定期称量，结果发现每次都短斤少两，意味着他一直在多付钱。
面包师愤怒不已，便向执法机关提起诉讼，案件最终交到了法官手中。
“您家里没有天平吗？”法官询问农民。
“有的，法官先生，我有一架天平。”农民回答道。
“有准确的标准砝码吗？”
“没有，法官先生。我不需要砝码。”
“没有砝码，您是怎么称量黄油的？”
“这很简单，”农民回答，“在面包师从我这里买黄油期间，我也一直在买他的面包。我每次都要求相同重量的面包，并用这些面包作为称量黄油的砝码。如果砝码不准，那不是我的过错，而是他的过错。”
最终，法官判定农民无罪，面包师不得不自行承担诉讼费用。
