Challenging Riddle Number Six,
then you know the word "sentence" has another meaning in English. A sentence is the decision of a judge - how many years
must a person spend in prison? When you say "I do", it means you are getting married. And just like going to prison,
getting married means you have to give up your freedom. In that case, marriage is the longest sentence - your whole life! Got it?
