The Lees insist that the court must interpret the two contracts (the earlier proposed sale contract and the option contract) as one, a proposition for which, as the court noted, the Basses offered no testimonial support. The Lees misunderstand. No principle of law presented by the Lees requires that the two contracts be construed together. The earlier signed contract, however, was properly considered, as we have said, to the extent that the lease-option contract was ambiguous or uncertain. The abandoned contract merely provided background information for purposes of clarification.
