Mulla's Creditor

Written story
A guy grabbed Mulla in the middle of the street and demanded he pay back a long-overdue debt. They started fighting and ended up in front of the judge. The creditor stated his case. Mulla said, "Your Honor, it's true I owe him a little money. But for two years, I have been begging him to just give me a three-month extension so I can pay it all in one lump sum, and he refuses! If I haven't paid him, it's completely his own fault!"
