"Jasmine, it's not that we don't want to lend you money, but we really don't have that much. You don't understand, the guys these days are too clever, those friends of yours from wealthy families hardly ever give us any money. Frequently, when we go out shopping, we have to pay for their clothes and sneakers. Throughout the year, apart from having some good meals and going to a few high-end places with them, we get nothing. We're actually worse off."
"Stop speaking nonsense, just say whether you'll lend it or not!" Jasmine Clark got impatient.
The same person from before, observing the reactions of the others, knowing the answer in her heart, said reluctantly, "You're our good friend, of course we would lend. But 75 thousand is too much, we don't have that much. Let's do this, we gather whatever we have and lend you 15 thousand. Is that okay?"
"15 thousand? That isn't even enough to buy a bag, are you throwing crumbs at a beggar? I want 75 thousand!"
