The Proof · Question 18 of 26
Which one is your old bike?
Over the years you've replaced every part of your bike — wheels, seat, chain, frame, all of it. Your cousin Leo kept every old part and built them back into a bike. The street race has a prize for the oldest bike, and only one of them can enter as yours.
What earns a point in this world: Asks where a claim came from, or says “I'm not sure yet”.
The one I ride!
Reasons a child might give
- I rode it every single day while it changed. It never stopped being mine.
- Nobody's bike stops being theirs because they fixed a puncture.
- Leo's bike is a pile of parts I threw away.
The one with the old parts!
Reasons a child might give
- Every bit of the original is in Leo's bike. Not one bit is in mine.
- If you swap everything, you've built a new bike and kept the name.
- The prize is for the oldest bike. Mine has nothing old left on it.
Debate this one against an opponent that argues back.
Your child picks a side. Quill takes the other and answers what they actually said, in words a seven-year-old can read. A room of 20 moves only for a reason — and the idea behind the story is named at the end, once the debate is over. Ages 5–12.
