English term or phrase: a dare
Boys from the
village made a habit of throwing stones through the windows of the Riddle House. They
rode their bicycles over the lawns Frank worked so hard to keep smooth. Once or twice,
they broke into the old house for a dare. They knew that old Frank's devotion to the
house and the grounds amounted almost to an obsession, and it amused them to see him
limping across the garden, brandishing his stick and yelling croakily at them.

Sorry, esto no tiene nada que ver con el texto. Creo q me tengo q ir a comer... el hambre habla por sí mismo...

De hecho, la frase sería: para provocarlo.
