Thinking Questions

1. On page 27, there are people dressed in bright clothes and doing fun activities. Who do you think these people might be and what are they doing at the feast?
-These people are the entertainers. They are there to provide entertainment to the guest at the feast.

2. On page 28, Jack and Annie have just been noticed in the castle! What do you predict will happen to them?
-I think they will be caught by angry guards and taken back into the Great Hall where the feast is being held. They will be questioned by the guest, but will be allowed to try the pig and the peacock.
