Imprisonment
There once was a man, who was innocent, who was sent to prison, and was to die the next day by beheading. His cell was stone with a dirt floor, and a heavy wooden door that couldn't be opened from the inside. There was a window 15 feet high, but he could not climb the wall. He tried to tunnel out, but the wall went too far underground, so he abandoned that idea. How did he escape?
Answer
He dug a hole, and piled the dirt that he dug out by the window. He climbed up the pile, and out the window.Hide Answer Show Answer
