  Mr and Mrs Wu were mad at their neighbor.He was always borrowing things from them.

  “It’s not right.”Mr Wu said to his wife one evening, “At one time or another that man has borrowed nearly everything we have.Almost every day he comes over to borrow something.”

  “You’re quite right.”his wife replied, “and most of the things he’s never returned.”

  “What I want to know,”her husband said, “is why he can’t buy the things he needs, like everyone else?”

  “Because people like us are foolish enough to lend him what he needs.”she replied, “As long as we are willing to lend, he’ll keep on borrowing.”

  “Then we’ll never lend him anything again.”Mr Wu said, “The next time he asks to borrow something, I’ll say no.”
