Matt, 8 years old, did not heed his parent’s advice and rode one of his father's stubborn horses. The horse galloped away heading for the bush. A stranger passing by noticed what was happening, went after them, shot the horse and rescued the boy. He nursed the boy's injury and took him back to his parents.
Years later, Matt is on trial for a hideous crime that could incarcerate him for a long time if convicted. Alas, the judge was the same stranger that saved him years ago. Matt sent a note to the judge, "I am the little boy whom you saved years ago, please help me." The judge looked at him, recognized him, then wrote back saying, "I am sorry, I can't help you; then I was a redeemer, but now I am a judge."
