Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Third Witch. Sister, where thou? First Witch. A sailor’s wife had chestnuts in her lap, And munch’d, and munch’d, and munch’d: ‘Give me,’ quoth I: ‘Aroint thee, witch!’ the rump-fed ronyon cries. Her husband’s to Aleppo gone, master o’ the Tiger: But in a sieve I’ll thither sail, And, like a rat without a tail, I’ll do, I’ll do, and I’ll do. Which statement best paraphrases the first three lines of the First Witch? A sailor’s wife was munching on chestnuts while her husband was sailing on a ship called The Tiger. A sailor’s wife greedily snacked on the chestnuts in her lap while waiting for her husband to return from the sea. A sailor’s wife was eating chestnuts, but when I asked if I could have one, she yelled at me to go away. A sailor’s wife scurried away like a rat without a tail when I demanded some chestnuts from her.
