one morning, tom asked his father if he could help him. mr. black wanted to know what was the trouble. tom asked father to lend him 5 pounds, but mr. black wondered what he wanted so much money for since he had given him some the week before. then tom explained his girlfriend, jane, was having a birthday party the next day, and that he would have to buy some new clothes for himself and a present for her. mr. black agreed at last and asked his son jokingly when he would pay the money back.
