The Borrowed Bicycle

Grammar in this story

3 concepts

Lin Ran borrows his roommate's bicycle, only planning to go downstairs to buy a bottle of water.

As soon as he reaches the gate, the bicycle is borrowed away by a clubmate.

The classmate says the posters are too heavy and the handcart has been taken by someone else.

Ten minutes later, the bicycle is delivered beside the sports field.

The basketball team then says the water container cannot be carried, so the bike basket is used to hold ice water.

When Lin Ran catches up there, he only realizes his own water still has not been bought.

Later, the bicycle is pushed back by a cafeteria worker, and the bell has even been polished.

In the basket are three notes and a bottle of water.

After reading the notes, the roommate decides to lend the bicycle to people who need it.

Lin Ran offers only one condition: next time, the water must be bought back first.
