I was having dinner at the restaurant when Harry Mills came in. Harry worked in a lawyer’s office years ago, but now he is working at the bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Harry saw me and came and sat at the same table. He never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me $2. To my surprise, he gave me money immediately. “I have never borrowed any money from you”, he said, “so you can pay for my dinner now!”.
