Bets, dares and silly reasons, sentence 5
Some dares invent deals nobody agreed to: "If you don't climb on the roof, you owe me a fiver." A bet needs two people to agree, and you can't owe money because someone said a sentence at you.
Who acts: dares, nobody, you, bet, two people, someone · What happens: invent, agree, not climb, owe, need, not owe · To what, where: deals, roof, fiver, choice, two people, money · Speech: someone speaks here
