HOW would you react if someone offered you something for free? Before giving a cautious “it depends” reply, let me give you a specific situation. A close friend requested you to travel to another country to bring a well-packed gift to his business partner. It was packed in a beautiful wrap and you are too shy to ask your friend to open it for your scrutiny. To sweeten his request, he offers you a free round-trip air ticket, hotel accommodation, visa arrangement, and $1,000 as your shopping money. He claims he’s supposed to personally bring it to his business partner, but his busy schedule at home prevents him from doing that.
