LEAS: You sell a favorite possession of your own in order to buy an expensive gift for your spouse. When you give him/her the gift, he/she asks if you sold the possession to buy it.

  

LEAS-J: One of your family members has been hospitalized and now is going to be discharged. The hospital has strict regulations. A nurse says that they can not accept anything as a token of gratitude because the hospital has strict regulations. But you strongly wish to give them a token of gratitude because you are so grateful for their care.
