    I love all the games. They’re all so fun… I got a lot of information from those games.

  2. Rules – not everybody has to follow.
    Laws – everybody must follow.
    We need rules and laws to keep everybody in their place.
    You should follow rules and laws so that you do not have to pay a fine.
    If we did not have rules and laws I think that the world would be full of fighting.

  5. Hi everyone
    Esther was chosen to be queen.
    She was important because she is a Jew, saved the other Jews’ life and she married king Achashveyrosh.
    She taught me that ordinary people can become important.

    🙂 Rose 🙂

    • Hi Rose

      Thank you for your comment.
      Esther’s story is a great lesson for us.
      You’re right – ordinary people can become important.
      I think it was Esther’s bravery and courage that helped her.
