peer agreement (net): +1| s’amplena de molla de pa mastegada, glue Explanation: I suspect that what is being described here involves a makeshift and non-binding, temporary glue. We used to make a similar sticky substance in scouts using chewed bread. But I still don't see exactly what the shepherd did with the glue, if I am right here. |
