Achilles Cinderella Tom Alec Dick John Hancock Larry Jack Thomas Murphy Hobson Freud Jane Riley Pandora Jones Adam Dr. Jekyl Parkinson Sheila Midas McCoy Friday Parker Uncle Tom Prince Charming Solve the paragraph of riddles to find the names. Draw a family tree using these names. What is the surname of this family? He’s just an ordinary man. However his brother is a know-it-all guy. His father’s very good at making money at whatever he turns his hand to. His father’s married to a beautiful woman who worked as a maid and whose beauty is only recognized and cherished by only one person. They have one daughter who takes after her mother, growing up to be a good looking young lady. They all live under one roof and their bread and butter is growing and exporting tea. Once in a blue moon, he comes to visit his grandfather. He’s a miner and he lives where his line of work never runs out. His grandfather is a very skeptical person. This man has three sons. One is light hearted and always smile. Another one is a doctor who leads a very complicated double life. He sometimes helps people; other times, he watches them die. One of his uncles is married to an average looking girl who is nothing to write home about. Their only child usually hangs out with Tom and Harry. This fellow came of age last year and flew the nest. He doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a doctor. He dreams of being an astronaut instead. You can always find a way to this family's place. His other uncle didn’t seem to have any luck either when he got married to an unwise woman who tends to cause trouble whenever she interferes in anything. He has two other cousins besides the young adult one. These guys are like two peas in a pod. They are chips off the old block. One is overly inquisitive, which he finds annoying sometimes. The other is quite quick; this lad loves to try his hand at many things but so far he hasn’t found anything that he really likes or good at. No matter where he and his close and distant relatives live, people are still envious and try to keep up with them. I guess you can’t please everyone. -Bonus Exercises: Location- Who lives in Rome? Who lives in China? Who lives in the town of Newcastle? Who is the last guy married to? His immediate family live in the middle of no where and very far away. Where do they live? -Bonus Exercises: Relationships- (fill in the blank) Pandora is Dick's __________ Jack is Thomas' ____________ Parker is Cinderella's _____ Jane is Midas' ____________ Sheila is Jane's ___________ Thomas has six _____________
