A light is turned on
You turn it back off.
Your friend weighs a little
You weigh enough.
She carries a lighter
You carry some gum.
He eats too much
You eat just some.
A faucet left running
You stop the flow.
That man holds a saw
You hold a hoe.
You cut a carrot.
These things do happen
But how can you bear it?
