One of our grandsons (he’s 8) is very, very good at those kinds of games where cards picturing this or that must be turned over to form a matched pair.
I wonder how he – or you – would do with these. Which of the following match? (A) a slave who becomes a king; (B) an overbearing fool who prospers; (C) a bitter woman who finally gets a husband; (D) a servant girl when she ousts her queen.
