Saying No Doesn't Mean I Don't Like You

Xiao Fang always trades candy for Xiao Yuan's yogurt, much to the distress of Xiao Yuan, who doesn't eat candy.

"Why can't I say no to Xiao Fang?" Xiao Yuan asks her mother.

"That's because Xiao Fang has talked you into a corner with her twisted logic!" her mother says gently. "In Xiao Fang's eyes, if I refuse an unreasonable request of yours, that means I don't like you as a person. And if we're good friends, I have to agree to everything you ask... But if that were really true, then she should also agree to your request not to trade."

"Then, Mom," Xiao Yuan says, her eyes lighting up, "what's the truth?"
