This one is titled: Neighborly and Unneighborly Neighbors
1. Make a list of items you would never lend to a neighbor, mixing the typical with the bizarre - for example, my car, my shoes, my left arm, my underwear, etc.
2. Write a piece in which you are asked and actually lend one of the bizarre items to the neighbor. Discuss the shape the item was in before you lent it and the shape it was in when it was returned.

2. "Hello Heather can i please borrow your girlled cheese sandwhich for the day?"
"WHy yes you make Jack!"
That's how the tragedy of my grilled cheese sandwhich started. BEfore i lent it out it was so warm and cheesy and smelt amazing. I was just about to eat it when jack asked to barrow it. I should of said no. THe next day i went to go get it back and i found that there was nobody home. In fact Jack moved out in the middle of the nite. He did leave a note though:
Hello HEather, Sorry bout the sandwhich i ended up getting really hungry and well the restis self explanitory! I left town so you would not hurt me! SO tata!
THe end!

I open the door to see my neighbor Mrs. Wellington standing at my front step.
"Hello Amanda, you know me. I'm nice little Mrs. Wellington." She's kind of old.
"Yes, hello Mrs. Wellington. Do you need something?"
"Well young lady, I just came to your house to ask you if I could borrow your prom dress."
"Um... my prom dress?"
"Yes, that's what I said. are you deaf? I saw you carry it into your house the other day and I was wondering if you would let me use it. I am making a photo shoot of my niece Emma and she wanted to wear something nice. Please? It is her birthday."
"Well, okay."
2 WEEKS LATER
KNOCK KNOCK . . .
I stand at Mrs. Wellington's front step. I need my prom dress back - prom is tomorrow and I was trying to patiently wait for her to bring it to me, but I can't take it anymore.
The door opens, I see Mrs. Wellington peek out, and then she slams the door.
I knock on her door for another five minutes, and she finally opens it again.
"Um... hello Amanda. I am very sorry, but your prom dress died."
"DIED?!?"
"Um, yes... you see, during the photo shoot Emma's little brother Frankie spilled some milk on the dress and so we were going to take it to the dry cleaner. But on the way there the dress flew out of the back window of the car and it got run over by a man on a lawn mower."
So I had to wear my dress from last year to this year's prom. Everyone noticed, and it was awful.
The End.

A hand, literararily of course. I'd always be willing to lend a figurative hand to my neighbor in almost anything.
2. One day, Casey Peterson, after finally realizing that my bow is of substantially higher quality than his, asked to borrow it. The five years prior to this inquiry, I had shot five giant bucks while Casey had shot one. After a long day of consideration, I decided, because Casey is a quite respectable and careful fellow, to lend him my bow for the climax of the rut (I was fine with this because I had already shot a 13 point, 22 inch inside spread giant, so I wasn't planning on shooting another deer). I gave my bow to Casey and he took it to his bountiful land, where deer run rampant all day long and it's rare not to see at least ten deer in any one hunt. After the week was up, Casey brought to bow back. He had seen more big bucks in that week than I'd seen in my life, as he had them all on film. However, apparently he sucks at shooting my bow as he missed multiple giants from thirty yards and in. From then on, I could never shoot my bow straight again because of the curse of Casey Peterson's terrible shooting.

One day as Nathan McMahon was taking a nap inside his bed, and he dreams that he lends his bow to me during the heat of the rut and he did this because he had already shot a giant buck. In reality, Nathan has only shot one nice buck, and his bow does not even reach thirty yards. I give him alot of credit though for not buying a new one and sticking with what he has!

One day my neighbor knocked on the door and ask so sweetly if she could borrow my refrigerator for two or three hours so her husband wouldn't notice she misplaced hers. She promised she wouldn't eat any of my food and she would keep it plugged in so everything would stay cold and fresh. I was kind of leary about the idea cause it was my brand new fridge with the cool water and ice thing on the door. I had also just gone grocery shopping so I had tons and tons of yummy food in it that I couldn't wait to eat. I let her borrow it anyway. So about 26 hours later my neighbor finally came back to my house with my fridge. I asked her kind of angrily what took her so long. She didn't reply and quickly left the fridge with me and disappeared. Then I finally looked at my refridgerator. The outside of it was all spraypainted. I check the ice dispencer and Barbie shoes were coming out instead of ice. Inside of the fridge all my food was rotten and smelly and there was goopy stuff leaking from the freezer. I decided then I would never let a neighbor borrow any kitchen appliances ever again.
