you discover that you had left your wallet at home. You also discover
that your cell phone is dead. You cannot remember any of your
friends’ numbers. The restaurant tells you that you MUST pay or
they will call the police. If you couldn’t ask a friend to bring you
money, how would you solve this problem?

celebrate her birthday. On Friday afternoon, you suddenly remember
that your best friend also has a birthday party on the same night.

motorcycle. He was supposed to have paid you 2 months ago. He
keeps telling you that he WILL give you the money. You really need
it NOW. How would you solve this problem?
4. Your brother allowed you to use his car for a few hours. While you
were using the car, you accidentally hit a stop sign and you damaged
