Twingor’s Tale
Chapter Two: Or I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff
Once at the house, I knew I could break it to pieces easily. Inside I could smell the fear. The trembling of the bears practically shook the house off its foundation. I may have only been a wolf at the moment, but if I could drag them back to the Third Zone, I’d make sure they had plenty to be frightened of.
But first things first–there were rules after all. “Let me in, let me in, or I’ll blow your house in,” I roared!
The answer from inside was surprising. “Tell you what, if you can identify these three pictures, I’ll happily let you in!”
I blinked. This wasn’t the way it was supposed to go. “All right,” I finally agreed, “Show me your pictures and prepare to be eaten.”
The first two pictures were easy. But the third… the third threw me. It was a painting and it looked old. I, of course, knew nothing about painting and for a moment I thought I was sunk. It showed several people in Polish garb doing something in a forest. I searched the painting for further clues and finally made a wild guess.
I could tell be the long pause that I must be right. I smiled expectantly.
QUESTION: What do the three pictures depict? Who painted the final image? (Hint: The final picture’s title is the activity it depicts).
Answers in the comments please! We’ll approve them all tomorrow, when we announce the winners.
