Mad Ade's Heteronyms#1
In this Teaser Mad Ade has created a sentence using heteronyms, which are identical words that have two separate differing meanings. In many occasions despite the same spellings the words are pronounced differently.
For example :
"Please excuse me while I think of an excuse."
The word EXCUSE is used in one sentence, but has two very different meanings and pronunciations.
Can you work out the heteronyms for these two sentences?
1, "The Doctor ----- the bandage around Mad Ade's -----, which was caused by standing too close to the Kebab grill."
2, "Mad Ade knew the ---- was strong enough to ---- the windmill."
