Explanation:

The lawyer and the banker had different opinions on what was better: capital punishment (punishment by death) or life imprisonment. With a feeling of anger and precocity, they placed a bet: the lawyer (in support of life imprisonment) would spend 15 years locked up in a room in the banker's garden without interacting with a single soul. If he fulfilled this, the banker would pay him 2 million.

Hope this helps you :)
