MAY/JUN 2008 Chapter Four: Return To Endora
Read the story passage at the bottom to find the ten clues to the puzzle below. Good luck!
King Rupert kept looking out the door, trying to get a glimpse of the bridge through the mist. “I appreciate all the
help you’ve given us,” he said. “But it isn’t really necessary for you to wait here until we leave. Why don’t you all go
home and get some sleep.”
“Nonsense,” Mr. Jordan said. “We’ve seen you this far through your ordeal and we won’t abandon you now.”
“That’s kind, but you really don’t have to stay.”
It seemed to Christopher that King Rupert didn’t want them around, though he hoped it was only his imagination.
“We’ll be with you to the very end.”
“Oh, if you must...” he sadly said.
Mr. Smithers heard all of this and was greatly intrigued, though he couldn’t make any sense out of it. “What a
strange bunch,” he thought. “I wonder what they’re up to.”
As the minutes ticked away, King Rupert grew more glum and uneasy. Artemas sat quietly as well. Then the king’s
eyes lit up. “Dear me! After all this time, I don’t have my crown and sword. I can’t return without them.”
“They’re still in the apple sack in our cellar,” Mrs. Jordan said. “I’ll drive home and get them at once. You wouldn’t
be a proper king without those.”
“Good idea,” the king hastily agreed. “Take the entire family with you. Artemas and I will wait here.”
“That’s not necessary,” Mr. Jordan said. “I’ll go home and get the items myself. I’ll only be a minute.”
