Answer: The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

A summary should focus on all the important details of a passage. Moreover, it should eliminate all the irrelevant, lengthy or unimportant details of a text. In this case, there are two important elements: the fact that the emperor gives out awards, and the fact that the way to earn one is by jumping over and under a stick. This answer includes both elements.

Licemer1 [7]

In "Twelfth Night" many things get twisted. For example, Two twins are seperated due to a crashed ship. Viola, one of the twins, is then forced to dress as a man, taking on the name Cesario.
While working at a palace, Viola falls in love with a young duke. Everything seems to be fine, except the young duke is head over heels for a girl named Olivia. However, Olivia is madly in love with Viola, who is pretending to be Cesario.
Viola then has to continue to be Cesario while caught in an awkward love triangle. She struggles having to balance Olivia's advances while she swoons over the duke and acts as his page. She also has to deal with the sorrow of her long lost twin, sebastian.

P.S. This should be a good starter! Hope u like! Havent read that in a year so it may ne off! I deserved more points than that.
