Jonas Brown Law Suit and a Christmas of Fortune
A satirical piece recounts Jonas Brown losing a law suit and gaining a sudden fortune. His friends the Snakes, who favored his wealth, fear losing their advantage when Brown wins at first but end up humbly awaiting his generosity. Brown announces victory, then departs, leaving the Snakes to face their own abrupt reversal.
