Cyril made two contracts. The first was to have his house painted one month from the
date of the written contract. The second was for his neighbor's 1957 Ford Thunderbird.
Each contract was definite and clear in all respects. As to the house painting, Cyril
inquired with the painter as to when the work could begin. The painter explained that he
was extremely busy and was not sure if he could fulfill the contract. Cyril flew into a
rage and immediately hired someone else who painted the house, but at a higher price.

contract by the painter.
