Box 66
Script: The king’s challenge
The king has offered you and your friends a chance to go on an adventure. The
king has told you that high in the mountains there is a cave which is full of gold. If
you return in two days, the king will let you keep the gold. Should you take up the
king’s challenge?
Extra information: The season is autumn and the winter snow is not far away.
The cave is one day’s hike in the mountains, so you will have to take food and a tent
and stay in the mountains overnight. There have been stories of wolves roaming in
the mountains. Gold is very heavy. The local people are kind and helpful.
