The second paragraph to your introduction advises us that "In essence, this fairy tale is about growing up. A boy with a generic name Jack has to symbolically defeat and kill his father who is presented in the role of the man-eating giant. The conflict between both characters is so well-presented that this fairy tale charms almost the same percentage of girls as boys. At the end of the day, they all have to grow up."

How might the fairy tale have fared if written the same but with the girl Jackie as the boy Jack?

Would "conflict between both characters" charm "almost the same percentage" of boys as girls?

Well done!

It appears to be 6:05 p.m. in the United Kingdom even as it is 2:05 p.m. here.

How do I know this?

Is it widely known that Kew has 12,000-plus trees? Is it widely known that the Sherwood Major Oak memorializes Major Hayman Rooke (Feb. 20,1723-Sep. 18,1806)?

Now I know!

Thank you!

Primary-school instruction in art, music and religion topping traditional learning of maths, reading and writing certainly gets students prepared for "higher" education.

Might "Tec" be such technology as computers and drones and mobiles?

What might "physical education" involve for primary-school students (with what age ranges)?

Thank you!

So it's sensible to know Munster Gaelic and Ulster Gaelic.

What is the official Scots Gaelic dialect?

Thank you!

So perhaps the Holy Family minimally handled four languages: Arabic, Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew.

Might Joseph have known any other language as a Bethlehemite?

Might the Holy Family have known any other languages from the Egypt years?

Thank you!

English Wikipedia describes Jèrriais as Norse adapted to langue d'oil ("language of yes [as oil, not oc]") of northern France.

Would you with your French familiarity understand conversational or written Jerriase?

Thank you!

The Wine Making Guides sites gives as instructions

Peel, chop and put in pan of boiling water onions and potatoes
Simmer 20 minutes
Strain onion and potato water into winemaking fermentation vessel
Top with boiling water onion wine liquor to make 8 pints (1 gallon)
Roughly chop raisins

Pour fermenting onion wine "must" into sterilized demijohn, with airlock
Rack onion wine for the first time and three weeks, then twice more and three-monthly intervals
Bottle at 12 months, by which time wine clarity should be good and fermentation completely ceased

What is an airlocked, sterilized demijohn?

How difficult or easy, how doable or non-doable might the above procedures sound -- from your prior wine-making experience -- to you?

Thank you!

Which would you use for leaf mould (leaf mold -- yikes! -- in Unitedstatesian ;-{!)?

(Sycamore was the first tree-name in my pre-kindergarten nature vocabulary!)

Thank you!

The fourth paragraph under the third subheading, Parklands in Cunnamulla, describes the information center as having an art gallery.

What might art-gallery displays be of?

The cursor brings up the artistic attributions only for the in-text image between symbols 7 and 8, gold and hen with golden eggs. It communicates that image as Jack steals a hen by Walter Crane.

Might it be possible to communicate those other attributions for me?

We call it leaf mould. I have used it, but it is necessary to use whatever leaves are available in your area.in my area Sycamore and beech leaves are common.

Yeast nutrient is a booster to get the yeast started. Camden tablets are a sterilized for the Demijon to be used prior to filling. I kept my children away from the Camden tablets by calling them very bad tummy ache powder.

The Nazis probably used English and French, which are both spoken in Jersey. None is reported as having a command of Jerriase, the Jersey dialect.

Yes, Jesus family would have spoken Aramaic, but as they lived in Galilee, a racially mixed area, a working command of Greek would have been necessary, and as they were near Arabia some Arabic would be beneficial. Jesus would have learned Hebrew for Scripture study.
