The Man with No Enemies

In "The Man with No Enemies," an inoffensive person is brutally assaulted by a stranger, leading to a trial where he claims to have no enemies. The defendant argues that this lack of enemies was the very reason for the attack, prompting the judge to dismiss the case with a humorous yet moral lesson: a person without enemies cannot truly have friends, and thus should not seek justice in court. This short story serves as a thought-provoking moral lesson for students about the complexities of relationships and the nature of conflict.
