- Reading
- If the animal-threat premise may concern your reader, discuss beforehand what they think protecting wildlife involves; the story’s specific depiction of harm is unclear.
- Themes
- Protecting wildlife: The king has vowed to protect the snow leopards, while a secret plan threatens them; the girls try to persuade the royalty that the danger is real. The premise sets the girls’ protective aim against a plan that may harm the animals, but does not show how the conflict is judged or resolved.
- Worth knowing
- A secret plan is described as threatening the leopards, but the nature and extent of the harm are not specified.
