Homework for my 7yo: Please, write a short story, around 300 words. I want a prince named Anna on it, and a unicorn, a castle and a treasure must be mentioned too. At the end, write for questions related to the tale.

Most probably outcome from her face; disappointment.

But one unch of material doesn't dilate as much as one foot of the same material. I guess that's what they mean when asking "per inch per foot?"

There's a sort of misogynistic that thinks women are superior to men (and I assume that's the reason they "hate" women). Spanish director Luis Garcia Berlanga would an example.
