history: Last month my car broke down and I had no way to get to and from work. A friend of mine let me borrow his car for almost the entire month. Last month my car threw a rod and needed to have the engine overhauled_comma_ leaving me without a way to get to work and back. Oh no_comma_ are you able to afford the repair for it?
current: Well, a friend of mine let me borrow his car for a entire month while mine was repaired. He just tossed me the keys and said bring it back when your done.
next: What a great friend you have. Definitly get him a gift when you are done.
