There was a baker who used to sell bread. A basket was full of hot bread for the poor. The poor used to stand in line and take their share from the baker. Another baker was very angry about this and made a big fuss about it, going so far as to sue his neighbor in court, claiming that the neighbor's action had caused most of his customers to switch to him.
The judge told him that he is free to do with his bread. Sell them or give them for free. His complaint was dismissed, and he thought of a plan to set fire to his neighbor's bakery. Then he retreated from this idea. He thought of making a hole in the roof, thinking that when the rain came, it would go down into the flour bags. Eventually, his neighbor would not be able to make one loaf of bread. He took his digging tools to carry out the job.
To his bad luck, a guard saw him and he took his mobile phone and pictured everything.
The next day, there was heavy rain, and the water melted the whole flour, and the baker was very sad, and he could not work on that day. His neighbor grabbed the opportunity and baked more than five thousand pieces of bread and gained a lot of money.
The next day, he was called by the court. The judge was smiling. He said to him, "How much money did you gain yesterday?"
"More than seven thousand dollars." The evil baker replied.
The judge said, "Give it to your neighbor and repair the whole you made on his roof." He whispered to his assistants, and they agreed. He continued, "You are sentenced to two years in jail.
His neighbor said, "Your honor, I don't want anything from him. I forgive him."
The judge interupted, "Even then, he must go to jail. Public rights must be respected.
The baker doubled the production of bread and became very rich and happy.
