Read the tasks and picture descriptions as text
The boy has brown curls, a blue-green tunic and a brown bag on a strap across him. The copyist has a rust-red turban, a dark beard and a striped scarf, as in the game. On page 1 he gives the boy a blank note. Text card A says: You must not go before it is light. B says: You must go before it is light. Below them is a sun symbol with the text Wait until it is light and a moon symbol with Go while it is dark. Each action card has a box for A or B. On page 2 the boy points between two blank notes. The copying row below goes from A to B to C. A says Two baskets. B says Three baskets. C has an empty writing line. The answer options for where the difference first appears are A, B and C. At the bottom are two empty frames for your own mark and a copy. The pictures of the people show a made-up exercise, not a historical event.
