In the book the knights defended the town from people crossing who were right-handed to the left-handed town and visa-versa. Then it got really silly and marshmallows were thrown back and forth all over the houses and the townspeople once again talked and mingled with oneanother.
In our version children will become the knights and throw the marshmallows with noun words and verb words onto a house in the correct town representing the part of speach on the fluffy, goey treat!
