Once upon a time, there was a knight who loved to play chess. One day, she decided to play chess with each piece as if they were alive. She moved the pawns in one direction, the bishops in another, and so on. But when she tried to move the king, he wouldn't budge! The knight tried pushing and pulling, but the king was stuck. Suddenly, the king spoke up, "I'm not moving until you find my crown!" The knight searched all over the chessboard, but she couldn't find the crown. Just as she was about to give up, she noticed that the queen was wearing it on her head! The knight took the crown without asking and placed it on the king's head. The king stood up and said, "Thank you! Now let's play some chess!" And from that day on, the knight always made sure to return each piece to its proper place after the game was over.

Reflections

1. Why did the knight move each chess piece in a different direction?
2. What happened when the knight tried to move the king?
3. How did the knight find the king's crown?
4. Why did the king want his crown back?
5. Did the knight always put the pieces back in their proper place after the game was over?
