Then read the questions that follow it.  \nChoose the letter that corresponds to your answer.  \nFor questions 1 – 7:  \n“The Witness Tree”  \nA Story from Kazakhstan  \nTwo men came before a judge in his court.“Give me justice! My neighbor has robbed me!” said one man.  \n“He’s lying,” the other protested. “I’ve done nothing wrong.”“Let me hear what you both have to say,” the judge said.  \nThe first man began.“A while ago I went on a journey. I left my life savings – a pot of gold coins – with my neighbor, he promised to guard the money while I was away. When I returned, he denied that he had ever seen my gold coins. He says I gave him nothing!”  \n“My neighbor is lying!” the second man said. “I know nothing about any pot of gold coins. He never gave me anything!”  \n“Before you left, did you tell anyone about leaving the coins with your neighbor? Did anyone see you give them to him?” the judge asked the first man.  \nThe man replied,“For secrecy, I told no one. No one saw us because I asked my neighbor to meet me at night by a tree in the forest. There, in the dark, I gave him the coins.”  \nThe judge frowned. “It is best to have a human witness. Since there is none, we will have to ask the tree. Go to the forest. Ask the tree if it saw you give a pot of coins to your neighbor. My clerk will go with you to write down the tree’s testimony.”  \nThe man and the clerk set off for the forest. Meanwhile, the judge invited the neighbor to sit down.  \nAfter a while he asked the neighbor,“Do you think they’ve reached the tree yet?” The neighbor shook his head.“Not yet.”  \nTime passed. The judge asked again,“Do you think they’re there now?”“No, not yet,”the neighbor answered.  \nMore time passed. The judge asked again,“Shouldn’t they be there by now?” The neighbor nodded.“Yes, they’re probably there.”  \n“Oh?” said the judge.“Didn’t you say your neighbor never gave you anything? How do you know where he’s going? How do you know how long it would take to arrive there if you’ve never been there? Bring back the gold you stole, or you’ll be in serious trouble.”  \nWhen the first man returned, the judge gave back his missing money.  \n“What did the tree say?” the judge asked.“Nothing!” the bewildered man replied.“But it revealed the truth anyway,” said the judge.  \n1.
