Charity said:My tiny hand is frozen:
give me yours.

I said:I think
you've got a bad case
of role confusion.

Charity said:No, no, I'm cold.
Warm me.

I said:You're always cold!
Nonetheless
I'll lend you my hot-water-bottle.

Charity said:That's very kind.

Surprised, I gave her my hand. She took it.

We had forgotten our basic thermodynamics:

It is impossible to transmit heat
into a cold object from one that's colder.
