Text, Questions & Answers

Once upon a time in a small town, two best friends, Jenny and Mark, loved swapping books. One day, Mark wanted to borrow Jenny's new book. Jenny, however, was worried because Mark often forgot to return her books. So, she decided to write a contract. In the contract, it said that Mark would return the book within a week. In exchange, Jenny agreed to lend her book to Mark. They both signed it, making a promise to each other. Mark was surprised about the contract, but he understood that it was important to keep his promise. He read the book and returned it within a week.
