Hay Bale Fortress Siege

Children build a hay bale fortress so convincing that knights mistake it for a rebel stronghold and begin a siege with real catapults. The kids want surrender terms that include dessert; the commander wants glory. Negotiate a truce, defend the fort with imagination, or burn the hay before someone loads a bale with oil.
