Let’s solve this step by step.
We have a “Code Box” that matches numbers to letters:
0 → n
1 → o
2 → a
3 → g
4 → r
5 → w
6 → t
7 → e
8 → i
9 → h
10 → u
11 → s
Now, we look at the grid under “Best friends!” and replace each number with its letter.
First row:
2 → a
9 7 0 → h e n
5 8 6 9 → w i t h
So first line:
a hen with
Second row:
2 → a
9 2 6 → h a t
9 10 3 11 → h u g s
So second line:
a hat hugs
Third row:
2 → a
9 1 3 → h o g
5 8 6 9 → w i t h
So third line:
a hog with
Fourth row:
2 → a
9 1 4 0 → h o r n
So fourth line:
a horn.
Now let’s put it all together:
a hen with
a hat hugs
a hog with
a horn.
Wait — that doesn’t sound quite right. Let’s check again.
Actually, looking at the layout, it might be meant as one sentence broken into lines.
Let’s read it as:
Line 1: a hen with
Line 2: a hat hugs
Line 3: a hog with
Line 4: a horn.
But “a hat hugs a hog with a horn” makes more sense if we rearrange? No — actually, maybe it’s:
“A hen with a hat hugs a hog with a horn.”
Yes! That sounds like a complete, silly, fun sentence — perfect for kids!
Let’s verify each word:
- “a” = 2
- “hen” = 9(h), 7(e), 0(n) → correct
- “with” = 5(w), 8(i), 6(t), 9(h) → correct
- “a” = 2
- “hat” = 9(h), 2(a), 6(t) → correct
- “hugs” = 9(h), 10(u), 3(g), 11(s) → correct
- “a” = 2
- “hog” = 9(h), 1(o), 3(g) → correct
- “with” = 5(w), 8(i), 6(t), 9(h) → correct
- “a” = 2
- “horn” = 9(h), 1(o), 4(r), 0(n) → correct
Perfect! So the full secret message is:
A hen with a hat hugs a hog with a horn.
Final Answer:
A hen with a hat hugs a hog with a horn.
