         <description><![CDATA[<div>Phillipe knew that he had to walk between the two towers. It was something that had to be done, but was tricky because the towers were not completed yet. This worked in his favor though, for he was able to sneak in with his friends pretending they were construction workers and were able to set up the line for walking. He broke the boundaries of doing something daring and life-threatening. But to him, he felt free!</div>]]></description>

Supply evidence from the story to back up your claim. You can also choose to tell Humpty that it wasn't smart of him to climb the wall again.
