Read the passage from hans christian andersen’s "the princess and the pea.” then [the queen] took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. on this the princess had to lie all night. in the morning she was asked how she had slept. "oh, very badly! ” said she. "i have scarcely closed my eyes all night. heaven only knows what was in the bed, but i was lying on something hard, so that i am black and blue all over my body. it’s horrible! ” now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds. nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that. so the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it. there, that is a true story. which quotation from the passage encompasses the climax of the story? “then [the queen] took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea.” “in the morning she was asked how she had slept.” “‘oh, very badly! ’ said she. ‘i have scarcely closed my eyes all night.’” “so the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess.”

" we wear our fingers rough with handling them. oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side. it comes to little more: there where it is we do not need the wall: he is all pine and i am apple orchard. my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him. he only says, “good fences make good neighbors." spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder if i could put a notion in his head: "why do they make good neighbors? isn't it where there are cows? but here there are no cows. before i built a wall i'd ask to know what i was walling in or walling out, and to whom i was like to give offence. .
