Pastry








... hot-headed, sensual, melancholy, malignant in his hatred as he was-- he was himself unable to fulfill the law; indeed, and this seemed strangest to him, his extravagant lust to domineer provoked him continually to transgress the law, and he had to yield to this thorn.

Is it really his "carnal nature" that makes him transgress again and again? And not rather, as he himself suspected later, behind it the law itself, which must constantly prove itself unfulfillable and which lures him to transgression with irresistable charm? But at that time he did not yet have this way out. He had much on his conscience - he hints at hostility, murder, magic, idolatry, lewdness, drunkenness, and pleasure in dissolute carousing - and... moments came when he said to himself:"It is all in vain; the torture of the unfulfilled law cannot be overcome."... The law was the cross to which he felt himself nailed: how he hated it! how he searched for some means to annihilate it--not to fulfill it any more himself!

And finally the saving thought struck him ... "It is unreasonable ..."

How to get the verr, the pastry and the sleen to the other side of the stream. You can only take one at a time.

But, if you are not there, the sleen will eat the verr (can't leave them unattended) and the verr will eat the pastry.(can't leave those two unattended either).

Simple ... feed the pastry to the verr, feed the verr to the sleen then slaughter the sleen and use his pelt to keep you warm and dry as you cross the stream.
