He said: `At the heart of this problem
lies a smell, for which payment was sought.
In my view, the baker has been paid in full
by the sound he's just heard in this court.

`For it seems to me clear as daylight
that when the sweet smell of bread is sold,
it is right and proper to pay for the scent
with the melodious clinking of gold.'

At these words, Crumb the Baker
stormed off in anger and grief,
while George knelt down at the judge's feet
crying tears of joy and relief.

`Keep the money, my friend,' the judge told him.
`And remember what happened today.
I treated you fairly and did what was right
Go now and act the same way.'
