（单词翻译:单击）

AN Inoffensive Person walking in a public place was assaulted by a
Stranger with a Club, and severely1 beaten.

  When the Stranger with a Club was brought to trial, the complainant
said to the Judge:

  "I do not know why I was assaulted; I have not an enemy in the
world."

  "That," said the defendant2, "is why I struck him."

  "Let the prisoner be discharged," said the Judge; "a man who has no
enemies has no friends.  The courts are not for such."
