THE BOY AND THE JUDGE

A boy was swimming when he developed cramps. He cried for help. A man heard his cry and saved him from drowning.

Years later this same boy and some friends robbed a grocery store and were arrested. When the young man appeared in court, he recognized the judge. It was the man who saved him from drowning.

Thinking all would be well, the young man said, “Your honor, I remember you. You saved me from drowning.”

The judge responded, “Yes, I remember. I was your savior then – today I am your judge.”
