Sir Cumference and Lady Di invite everyone to the castle so that they will be protected from the fast approaching blizzard. The storm rages on for several days and the people begin to run out of food. Sir Cumerfence and Lady Di venture out to the home of a farmer who had a plentiful harvest. The farmer stores his grain in cube shaped boxes. Can they calculate the volume of the cubes in order to get all the food they need to fit into the space they have on the sled and make it back to the castle in time?

A fun story that incorporates math, the calculation of volume and problem solving in an interesting way.
