(a) We have already learned that someone who stores away less than a Shiur of any commodity, will be Chayav if *he* subsequently carries it out. If he then changes his mind, and decides to revert to its original use, will he be Chayav for carrying it back inside?

(b) Why does the Tana need to tell us the case of someone who first stored away the commodity and then carried it out - when he could have simply stated a case where he simply carried out a minute amount specifically for sowing, as a sample or for a cure - even without having stored it first?
