Third-Party Woes] Jaya owed Bobby $40 for a book she purchased from him. Jaya mowed Laura's yard for $40 and made an agreement with Laura that Laura would pay Bobby for the book. Bobby was not aware of the assignment. Laura did not pay anyone. Jaya also mowed Ken's yard for $40. She agreed with Ken that Ken would give the payment to Bianca, representing Jaya's birthday present to Bianca. Ken later refuses to do so, saying that promises to give gifts are not enforceable. Ken then moved out of town. Jaya told both Bobby and Bianca that she was broke and that they would have to recover any amounts due directly from Laura and Ken, respectively.
