Storytime with Teacher Lauren

We use borrow and lend when people share objects or possessions. 

We use borrow to explain we don’t own the object. 
For example: I am borrowing a dress from my sister.
We use lend to explain that the object belongs to you, but someone is using it.
For example: I am lending my dress to my sister.

Mais Gaspard est quelque peu timide et lorsqu'il aperçoit la belle Susie, ses jambes se mettent à trembler et, bouche bée, il la regarde passer.
Comment lui déclarer sa flamme? Gaspard a une fabuleuse idée: il s'élance sur la mare gelée et dessine sur la glace un grand cœur pour sa bien-aimée. Celle-ci, clignant des yeux, lui offre alors un tendre baiser!
