Next they started a game.
The game was called ‘Twenty Questions.’
Each person had to think of something, while the others asked them questions.
They tried to guess what the person was thinking.
When it was Fred’s turn, everyone asked him questions.
“Is it an animal?” one guest asked.
“Yes,” the nephew answered.
“Does it live in the city?” another asked.
“Yes,” the nephew answered again.
The other guests asked questions and learned the animal wasn’t a dog or a cat, and people didn’t eat the animal.
The animal could talk.
Finally it was Fred’s wife’s turn to ask a question.
