What you people don't know is that doing alone is a great talent

How can someone gift you something and you now gift it to another person? That is very improper. Even if it has to be done, let nobody know about it.
A friend of mine begged me for an original football Jersey and I gave it to him. Only to visit him and see his neighbor wearing it. On that day, I almost swore never to gift him anything again.
