  14. THANK YOU

  15. One good turn deserves another • 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.

  16. One good turn deserves another • 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!”
