Recently, I promised my brother that if he passed his exam, I would buy him a chocolate. Since I am a person who keeps her promises, I should buy it now because my brother said that he passed, and I can say that he has some good grades. I am not escaping from buying him a chocolate since it is just a little thing and not a big deal. When I made the promise, he knew it sounded a bit fishy to me. I thought, is it really... It is not a big issue to buy a chocolate for me, but it was really suspicious on his part that he came to me and asked if I would buy him a chocolate if he finished his exam with good grades. I said, 'Oh yeah, sure, why not?' So we had a deal, and of course, I will fulfill it since I said I would do so.
