“Well girls, we don’t have a crop anymore but maybe we can still save the eggs” he said. His girls’ faces lit up and they jumped for joy. However, now there was a new problem they had to solve. As they gathered around the eggs, Jack and his daughters brainstormed how to keep them safe. The task was daunting – how do you protect 20 fragile eggs from the elements?
Then, Jack had an idea. He instructed his daughters to fetch a large black canvas from the barn. The canvas would act as a shield, protecting the eggs from the elements and keeping them warm. The girls were excited about the plan and ran to the barn to get the canvas.
