8. Basketball is generally better than tennis. I chose this because the author picked basketball and its best qualities.
9. The boy and the old man are very poor, but they are happy it is referenced in the passage and Patrasche is the dogs name.
10. The old man and boy were never able to make enough food. They were poor and didn't have a big garden to grow an abundance of food.

<u>Explanation:</u>
James Thurber’s short story “The Princess and the Tin Box,” is written in the form a modern fable. The main character is the Princess who has just turned eighteen years old and spoilt with riches since childhood. The King or the father of the Princess has a minimal role to play. But from the story we can understand that the princess was very dear to him since she was a baby. He provided her with the best of things that included only gold, precious stones etc. All things below this standard was not even kept in the palace grounds. So he basically, kept his daughter lavishly and dependant on others with all the amenities.
