Narrated that there were two men entering the courtroom and standing before the judge. One of them was tall and muscular and his face was still fresh and young. at that time it was around 50 years old. While the other man, a man who looked very old. His back is bent. He stood up by resting on his stick.

The young man said, "O Mr. Judge, I loaned my 30 gold coins to my best friend. He promised to return them if the situation improved. Every time I asked him, he always avoids and dodges."

Then later, the Judge asked the old man, "What would you say after hearing your friend's statement?"

The old man replied, "I admit that, he did borrow me 30 gold coins, but I have returned it, sir."

Then the Judge stood up and said, "Do you dare to swear before the court that you have returned thirty gold coins
to your friend?"

The old man immediately and spontaneously answered in a loud voice, "Yes, I dare, sir judge." The Judge said. "Okay, now raise your right hand and swear it."

The old man turned to the young man who was beside him and asked that the man hold his wand briefly. That way, he could raise his right hand when swearing.

The old man raised his right hand and said, "I swear to God that I have returned thirty pieces of gold to him."

The judge criticized the young man who had accused him of not being kind to the old man. The young man immediately apologized to Mr. Judge, maybe he had forgotten that the old man had returned it.

The old man then took his wand back, he was about to go by resting on his stick. Before the two of them left the court, suddenly a shocking thought occurred in the master judge's head. He immediately called both of them.

The two returned to face the judge.

Then, the judge asked the old man, "Do you usually wear a stick, old man?"

The old man replied, "sometimes, sir."

The judge also asked the same thing to young men.

He answered. "No, sir. I've never seen it before using a stick."

The judge asked the old man to hand over his staff. The judge held the stick and examined it carefully. Judge felt the stick was a bit heavy. The judge held the curve at the base of the bark he held and tried to turn it, apparently it could.

At that time, the old man's face with the stick was pale. Then the master judge pulled it hard, and let go of the bend. Apparently, the stick is empty. The hole is filled using a piece of cloth. Judge pulled the cloth that filled the hole. Then, he tilted the stick; point the hole down. Instantly, there is a jingling sound. Gold coins fell in front of the audience. Instantly, the old man's body trembled.

Then, the judge asked the young man to take gold coins. After all was collected, young men were counted and in fact there were ten.

The judge immediately said to the old man, "Hi, rotten old man, you think you can cheat this person and cheat me!" I've been suspicious of you since you handed the stick to your friend before swearing. Do you think your oath is correct? "

Then, the judge turned to the young man who had ten gold pieces and said to him, "These parents are deceitful and deceitful. He gives to staff where there are ten gold pieces for you. Then he swears he has given up gold for you because of gold You at that time are in your hands, meanwhile, you don't know. This is a trick. "

Finally, the judge turned to the court army and gave strict orders. "Catch this rotten old man and put him in jail until I find the right sentence for people who play with oaths and betray trust."

Then, the young man came out of the palace with a happy heart. He doesn't seem to believe the gold money will return. The people who attended the trial were amazed by intelligence and justice judges who have been able to unlock the secrets stored in the stick of old man who traitor.

In the story above, the old man acted as a judge and young people who had lent him 30 gold coins. The story can be a valuable lesson for us, no matter how great and how you lie, then the lie will be revealed. Deception, betrayal are evil actions that must be kept away.
