OI!
You cry out that you know this. The voice reproachfully says,
"OH..."
You wait while there is a dramatic pause.
"I WILL SET YOU FREE IF YOU WILL DO THREE THINGS FOR ME,"
the voice boomed.
"What? I'm hardly going to get a chance to do one thing at this
rate!" you say.
There is another silence. "OH YEAH..." the voice finally
replied. "MY BAD. OK, AFTER THIS, YOU MUST DO TEN TASKS FOR ME.
AFTER I'VE SAVED YOU."
"Ten? I've got a life you know!"
"MIGHT I POINT OUT THAT THIS WILL CHANGE VERY QUICKLY IF YOU
DECLINE?"
You grudgingly see his point. "All right, I'll do six."
"NINE."
"Seven!"
"EIGHT."
There was a silence then, "ALL RIGHT, SEVEN AND A HALF, BUT
THAT'S AS LOW AS I'M GOING!" the voice boomed. You decide that it
is in your best interests to agree and not prolong the argument by
pointing out that half a task was rather silly.
The voice then says, "OK, EVERYONE, YOU CAN STOP NOW. HE'S GOING
TO DO WHAT I WANT. THANKYOU TO YOU ALL!"
Confused, you are unburied and you stand and
shout...
"OI! HEY, YOU DOWN THERE!" boomed the voice in the sky.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? BEING BURIED ALIVE IS NO FUN! IT'S
DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR YOU."
