The Broken Jug
7.1
Today is a fateful day for village judge Adam. Who broke Widow Kull’s jug fleeing head over heels after his nightly visit to her daughter? As the trial unfolds, it becomes clear to everyone that the judge himself is the culprit. Judge Adam twists and turns, invents countless explanations, and piles up the most absurd lies. But he is conducting a trial against himself—one he cannot win.
