Saddled donkey with blinkers F. T. Faber, (1782–1844) Rijksmuseum CC0 1.0 Look and learn com) Some people just don’t want to take no for an answer when it is about their interest. Yours, they don’t see at all. This reminds me of a story:
“Hodja, can I please have your laundry rope for a couple of days? We do our spring washing tomorrow.”
“Unfortunately the rope is busy. My wife is drying flour on it.”
“But Hodja, who can imagine such an incredible thing – drying flour on a rope? Is that even possible?”
“Well neighbour, little do you know what it's possible to do to avoid lending your rope when you don’t wish to.”
