Answers
When the narrator of the story ‘My Lost Dollar’ lends a dollar to his friend Todd, little does he realise that he would spend so much time brooding over the loan. Todd for his part, heads off to Bermuda for his vacation with no memory of having borrowed money from his friend. However, since the lender is a principled man, with a seemingly sharp memory, he tries to throw various hints to rekindle Todd’s memory. Unfortunately, Todd has either forgotten all about it or feels that it is too small an amount to be returned. Throughout the story, the narrator is pained at the idea of his dollar being ‘lost’, while the borrower, Todd goes about his life without any regrets whatsoever. The story stands as evidence that the lender always remembers the details, while the borrower does not quite think about it seriously.
