He would ___5___ in his castle day in and ___6___ out, tending to his ___7___ knights and ___8___pawns. He would tell them stories of how one day, they might become ___9___, and find their own kings and castles. Yes, Harry had a ___10___ life. However, just over the squares was another king. Jealous of Harry’s ___11___, this king sent pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, and even a ___12___ to attack. As a result, Harry had to ___13___ from his happy ___14___ on g1, until at last, he thought he had escaped. He ___15___ and ___15___ until he noticed how far he had gone off track.
