lamb. Anyone who wants to achieve her reward of $2,000 must fully perform to Mary that he or she is
actually the one finds her lamb and help Mary locate where her lamb is. None of them facilitated to
provide her valuable information that can lead Mary to locate her lamb. To Jack, even though he was
the first one seeing Mary’s lamb and asked Scott to deliver his message, Jack still failed to provide to
Mary directly useful information to help her locate her lamb exactly at that time. Passed the day of
Monday, Mary still could not find her lamb. To Jill, as the lamb ate her written note that she left for
Mary, so there was no proof that she was the one who found Mary’s lamb. To Scott, he was just the one
who helped to deliver Jack’s message to Mary but not the one who actually found the lamb. Given
neither has sufficient evidence to prove they were the ones who located the pet as stated in the
contract, Mary can refuse to give out any reward.
