Lesson 11 One good turn
deserves another
礼尚往来
I was having dinner at a restaurant
when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a
lawyer's office
years ago, but he is
now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but
he always borrows money
from his
friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and
came and sat at the same table. He has
never borrowed money from me. While he
was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.
To
my surprise, he gave me the money
immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from
you,'
Tony said, 'so now you can pay
for my dinner!'
