The Forgotten Loan
Years ago, a friend lent you a large sum when you were struggling. They now earn far more than you and seem to have forgotten the loan. Paying it back this month would put you in trouble.

Then ask
- Would your answer change if they once treated the money as a gift?
- How long can hardship delay a debt?
- What if asking them would damage the friendship?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
