Dragon Story Episodes
Attorney at Caw
One may laugh at the idiocy of such
a thing, but animals frequently used
to be put on trial in Alberia.
The defendants—small creatures that
destroyed fields, or domestic beasts
that injured an owner—were all tried
in accordance to human law.
Of course, the animals had no way of
understanding what the judge said.
Nor could they plead their case;
they could only shake their heads
and accept the punishment.
One day, a raven was brought to
court on a charge of theft, for a ring
belonging to the earl's wife had been
found in its nest.
The earl's wife filed the complaint.
"This filthy raven ripped the ring off
my finger as I was walking in our
estate gardens!" she squawked.
"Clap him in irons at once!"
Based on this testimony, the poor
raven was arrested and dragged into
court. But the dragon Fubuki, who
was out on another meandering
journey, happened to witness this.
"A trial, you say?" asked Fubuki.
"Yet as ravens and humans do not
speak the same language, it seems
I've no choice but to interpret for the
poor bird."
Everyone in the courtroom was
paralyzed with fright. None of them
ever thought an animal would seek
counsel, let alone that a dragon
would rally to its aid.
Thus began a courtroom drama the
likes of which the world had never
seen—with a clever dragon as its
star!
Onlookers in the open-air animal
court could barely believe their eyes
at the sight of a dragon representing
a raven—and dressed in human
garb, no less!
"My client claims he found the ring in
the forest," said the young dragon,
"and that he neither stole it nor
harmed anyone in the process of
obtaining it."
"Additionally, my client claims he
saw the earl's wife throw the ring
into a bush, which is how he came
to be in possession of it."
"What possible reason would the
earl's wife have for going to the
forest?" asked the judge. Oddly,
this question caused the woman to
turn a deathly shade of white.
Soon the truth emerged: the wife had
removed the ring while meeting a
lover in the woods. As the raven had
taken nothing but what he found on
the ground, he was acquitted.
As court adjourned, the chagrined
judge asked Fubuki why he chose to
represent the raven in the first place.
"Human or raven, you're all the same
to we dragons," said Fubuki. "Do you
see? Both of you have two eyes,
a nose, and a mouth. You're twins!"
He went on to say that helping one
in need was just the right thing to do,
a sentiment agreed to by all.
Wise and well-traveled, Fubuki
looked at the world from a very
different angle than did humans.
He saw the true nature of things.
With the trial concluded, the dragon
set off again. Who knows what
adventure he will wander into next?
