No Reason for Refusing
The story is told of the farmer who called at the home of his neighbor and asked if he might borrow a rope.
"Oh, good and faithful neighbor, I must regretfully refuse of you this simple favor," spoke the man. "The rope you request cannot be given, for I use it to tie up my milk."
"But surely," replied the would-be borrower, "milk cannot be tied up with a rope?"
"You're right," the refuser said. "But when one does not want to do a thing, one reason is as good as another."
