POUR THE LENTILS INTO THE INNKEEPER'S SACK, BIND IT AND TURN INSIDE OUT. POUR IN THE PEAS. THEN UNBIND THE SACK AND POUR THE LENTILS BACK TO YOUR SACK
THE POLES ARE 0M APART. IF THE CABLE IS 80M, THEN HALF OF IT IS 40M. THE ONLY TIME WHERE THE CABLE WOULD DROP 40M TO THE GROUND IS WHEN THE POLES ARE 0M APART
HE STOOD ON A LARGE BLOCK OF ICE AND TIED THE ROPE AROUND HIS NECK. ONCE THE ICE MELTED, HE WAS HUNG, AND ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE GROUND
