Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the boy telling the story?

Answer: Marco

Marco tells the story of how his father never believes the things he says he sees when he's walking to and back from school. Marco makes up another elaborate story in hopes that his father will believe him.
2. What does the boy actually see while he's walking to and from school?

Answer: A horse-drawn wagon

Marco saw a man riding a wagon being pulled by a horse and thought it was not much of a story to relate, so he went on and made it to be a much bigger deal than it actually was.
3. At first, the boy changes the animal he saw into a zebra. Then goes on to change the type of vehicle he saw. What type of vehicle does it become?

Answer: A chariot

Marco won't stop elaborating until the story he is telling was absolutely incredible.
4. After a while, the boy decides that the chariot being drawn by a zebra isn't unusual enough, so he changes it to a sleigh being drawn by a reindeer. When he figures even that's too boring, he changes it to another animal pulling the sleigh. What kind of animal is it?

Answer: An elephant

Marco also places a throne on the elephant with a Rajah sitting on it, but of course, Marco can't stop there.
5. The boy later becomes worried about the vehicle running into traffic. So he places three police cops riding in front of it to clear the traffic around them. What is the name of the sargeant in the lead?

Answer: Sargeant Mulvaney

In Marco's imagination, Sargeant Mulvaney guides the animals pulling a brass band with a man listening behind the vehicle, out of traffic.
6. What political figure does the boy later incorporate into his story?

Answer: The Mayor

Marco places the Mayor and the Alderman into his story and has them wave 'big banners of red, white, and blue'.
7. The boy incorporates another type of vehicle into the story, one that pours out confetti. What type of vehicle is it?

Answer: An airplane

Everyone cheers in Marco's story, as the airplane pours the confetti on top of them.
8. After the boy incorporates a big brass band on a wagon and a man sitting behind it, he figures it's too much weight for the elephant, so he gives the elephant two helpers. What kind of animals are the elephant's helpers?

Answer: Giraffes

Marco is obviously a very creative young man.
9. In the last parts, the boy puts his finishing touches on the story by incorporating some other things. What else does he add?

Answer: All of these

These are the last unique kinds of people Marco added to his imaginative story.
10. In the end, does the boy tell his father the fictitious story?

Answer: No

At the end of the story, Marco changes his mind at the last minute and tells his father the truth about what he really saw on the road. The reason he changes his mind is unknown.
