<h1>🏰 Inside a Castle</h1>
<h2>Week 12 • Tuesday • Parts of a Castle and the Path to Knighthood</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Let's walk through a castle! First we cross the <strong>drawbridge</strong>, a wooden bridge that can lift up over the moat. Then we pass through the <strong>gatehouse</strong>, where guards keep watch. In the middle stands the <strong>keep</strong> — the tallest, strongest tower, where the lord's family lives.</p>
<p>Inside the walls there is a busy courtyard with a kitchen, stables for horses, and a blacksmith making tools and swords.</p>
<p>How did someone become a knight? A boy started as a <strong>page</strong> at age seven, learning manners and riding. Around fourteen, he became a <strong>squire</strong> and helped a real knight with his armor and horse. If he worked hard, he was made a knight in a special ceremony!</p>
