An unusual place...

Somewhere in the world there is an unusual place. 

The room is circular and is roughly 6m across. Could you draw that using string and chalk?

In that place was a room and some stairs. They were unusual stairs. If you went up the stairs you came to a bedroom, with very little furniture. What could this place be? Who lived there? We had lots of great ideas.

Further up the stairs were more rooms. What was in them?

Somebody lived in this place, with their family. We were able to ask questions, but this person would only give yes/no answers. It took us a while to get the hang of it, but then we were on fire!

'Are you a boy?'     No

'Do you live here?'    Yes

'Do you have fun here?'  Yes, and no.

After a while ...

'Is it a lighthouse? Are you by the sea? Are you on the rocks?'

Yes

At night I light a candle and father finds oil.

 Why?

Outside the lighthouse a storm was brewing ...

then raging ...

into a full blown tempest.

The walls of the lighthouse were very strong. If they spoke, I wonder what they would say..

'The waves are crashing on the rocks.'

'I will stay strong.'

'The storm is terrifying ...'

'We will protect those inside!'

What questions do you want to ask now?
