We are allowed one chance in this life to do things that make our time
spent here on hallowed ground worth while. Willow was young
and wanted very much to follow her dream of being a well known lawyer.
She attended a prestigious law school and followed the curriculum laid
out to bring her dreams to fruition. Willow, was a bit low on self esteem
and had a soft low tone to her voice. In a court room while trying to
defend the lowlife defendants, the people depending on her
skill as a defense attorney, she knew she would have to learn to bellow
to be heard. She found a voice coach to train her to allow her to
use the full potential of her much sought after talents. She learned
to bellow but in a mellow way so as not to allow herself to become
known as a lower than average opponent. No one wants to hear
bellowing in a court room that is too loud to be understood. Willow
practiced her voice range pitch, higher and lower until it had reached
the proper mellow range desired. Willow took a job with a small
law firm, really low priced for the defendants, for many who sought
her out. She was ready to try out her talents, and her very first client
was a bit low on cash but Willow assured him it would not disallow him
from having her representation but he had to follow her lead so that
she could present his case in the best way she could, to get him off
with the lowest possible sentence or perhaps if lucky, with just a
low fine. She knew in order to gain a following she could not blow her
first case. She told this fellow she was representing he would have
to allow her to give him some hints on how to look good for his first
court appearance. He must have a good glowabout him, and not look
like a lowlife in court. He was to followher directions and get some
clothes that would look allowable.
Willow herself, was not below dressing for the court room. She did not
want to be shallow, but realized that people would followher around the
court room as she moved and she wanted an outfit that would flow
gracefully with her. Appearance before a jury and her peers was an
important part of presenting her case, at least in Willows mind.
Her low self esteem would be bolstered by not looking below
standards of dress code. So Willow all decked out in her new clothes
and her lowly defendant presented themselves to the court. The judge
noted Willow and the fellow she was representing who was now looking
quite nice, and allowed to himself, well Willow has style. She presented
her case for this lowly fellow and he got off with a low fine.
Moral here,following allowable standards in hallowed halls of court,
is smart.

Just a grand story with a wonderful moral, and superb use of 'low' words.
