You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
Open the hidden door that leads into a long, low tunnel that takes me to the monster's den. Feed the goat to the monster, leave the slinky for it to play with, dash for the cave mouth, and then jump into the red porsche and speed off into the future.
