Lincoln once played a practical joke upon a rich man who came to engage him for his case. Lincoln was then practising as a lawyer. This man wanted Lincoln to take a poor neighbour to court for not paying back a small sum of two and a half dollars .The poor man had refused to pay it because, he said he didn't really owe it .Lincoln had an idea .He agreed to take up the case if he was paid ten dollars, cash down.The rich man readily paid him the cash.Lincoln at once went and gave the other man five dollars and said,''now go and pay two and a half dollars to that neighbour of yours and take two and a half dollars for yourself.''Both lincoln and the poor man gained some money and the rich man was completely satisfied.
