Hmm, let me see what I can come up with ... Nothing
springs immediately to mind ... Oh, yes, I suppose the last
time was when my friend John borrowed my bike. He’s
always borrowing things and I don’t usually mind, but he
gave my bike back in really bad condition and I was pretty
upset about it. I mean, it was filthy and there was a small tear
in the seat cover. He must have realised that I wasn’t happy,
but he just started saying that the bike was already like that
when he borrowed it! Then I was absolutely furious and lost

come back to apologise, and I had calmed down by then. He
took my bike away and cleaned it, and we’re friends as before.
He hasn’t borrowed anything else from me lately, though!

There is a family sitting on a sofa. The photo seems to show a

wrong, but I think the mother is asking him to explain
something. I can’t be certain, but I don’t think she’s shouting
