Martha: My vacuum cleaner is dead!
Andrew: When did it break?
Martha: Just now. 
Martha: The guests are coming and it's Sunday
Martha: No way I can get a new one now
Andrew: Maybe you can ask your neighbours if you can borrow theirs
Martha: I guess I have no choice
Martha: I failed miserably
Martha: The neighbours are either gone or they won't lend me.
Andrew: WTF??
Martha: It's really annoying. 
Martha: I'll use the broom.
Martha: Not great for the carpets, but what to do?
Martha's vacuum cleaner broke. The guests are coming and it's Sunday, so it's not possible for her to get a new one now. She tried to borrow a vacuum cleaner from the neighbours, but didn't succeed. She will have to use a broom then.
