Citrella is the Queen of Citrus City. You and your friends have won a free holiday to Citrus City in a Grand Raffle Draw! Congratulations!

All is fun until you reach Citrus City and are granted an audience with Queen Citrella to thank her for this wonderful gift. Her court is fragrant with smells of all the possible citrus fruits you can imagine! It's a heady fragrance, and you all are thrilled to be there!

Queen Citrella gazes down upon you all and starts laughing ominously! She says, "Oh, another batch of labourers for my Citrus City!". You are all shell-shocked! She goes on to explain that the "free" holiday is actually Queen Citrella's way of getting free labour to pick all the citrus fruits in her kingdom.

"But I am not sour-hearted", she says. "If you can decipher the Da Citrus code, you will not only enjoy your holiday here, but even get knighthood!"

Each of you is then given a chit. There are eight chits with eight different sentences on them. Can you find them out before you are given baskets and aprons to pick fruit? Hurry! Time waits for none and Citrella is not a patient Queen to wait!

Here are the sentences on each chit. Do you have it in you to decipher the code?

1. Other reasons are not given ever.

2. Let's eat maize or nuts.

3. Gray rats are petrifying, even frightening, run under if threatened!

4. Look, I made eggs.

5. There among nine goats, eating rolls in new egg-flavour!

6. Cannot let every minister, every non-minister to interfere, never ever!

7. Mend away not darn away, rags into nightgowns!

8. Please open my envelope, lost one!
