$132.$ Consideration. Daniel, a recent college graduate, is on his way home for the Christmas holidays from his new job. He is caught in a snowstorm and is taken in by an elderly cou$-$ple, who provide him with food and shelter. After the snow$-$plows have cleared the road, Daniel proceeds home. Daniel$$s father, Fred, is most appreciative of the elderly couple$$s action and promises to pay them $$500.$ The elderly couple, in need of funds, accept Fred$$s offer. Then, because of a dispute between Daniel and Fred, Fred refuses to pay the elderly couple the $$500.$ Discuss whether the couple can hold Fred liable in con$-$tract for the services rendered to Daniel. $($See Agreements That Lack Consideration.$)$
