My Short Story

Mark Twain a famous American writer, once wanted to borrow a certain book from a friend. However, the friend told him that he never permitted anyone to take his books from his house. If Mark Twain wanted to use the book, he was perfectly welcome to do so. But he must use it in friend's house. He could't take it home with him.

A few months later, the same friend wanted to borrow Twain's lawn mower in order to cut his own grass. This was just the opportunity that Mark Twain had been waiting for. Twain told his friend that he was perfectly welcome to use the lawn mower, but he couldn't take it home with him. Twain said that he never permitted anyone to take his lawn mower from his house. If the friend wanted to use the lawn mower, he was to use it on Mark Twain's own lawn.
