A/N: Hello! Well, this is my first venture outside of Ninja Turtle fiction, so please be kind.

On September 4th of last year, my client was walking by the defendant's fields when he chanced upon a grape vine that had entwined itself around a large oak tree.

Being famished due to working all day to provide for his family, my client found that the succulent grapes that clustered high upon the trunk appeared to be very ripe and, if they were not eaten soon, would surely rot.

Seeing that the tree was technically on public land, my client felt that it would be perfectly legal for him to retrieve the grapes in question. He attempted to harvest the grapes from the ground, but, finding himself vertically challenged, he was unable to reach them. It was then that my client noticed how the branches of the oak tree were perfectly positioned so that he could, with little difficulty, climb up and achieve his goal. Doing so, he quickly found himself high above the ground, balancing upon a limb.

Moments before he could pluck his quarry and bring it home to his starving family, the sprinkler system in the defendant's fields began to spray. Sadly, one of the nozzles was severely out of alignment, causing water to be extruded along an extreme tangent. And where did the water go, you might ask? The stream shot directly into the oak tree, hitting my client directly on his back. The unexpected torrent caused him to lose his balance, slip from the branch, and tumble down onto the rock-strewn ground. Unfortunately, the fall caused my client to break his dominant arm in three places, severely hampering his ability to provide for his family.

And that, Your Honor, is why my client, Jason T. Fox, is suing Farmer Bill Jonson for the sum of ten thousand dollars.
