if you have a whole loaf of bread,
& somebody comes to you and asks for a little piece of that bread,
rather than make an enemy,
because you ain't gonna eat that whole loaf of bread,
you're gonna throw some of it away,
give that person a piece of bread.
That way you made a friend instead of an enemy.
