Answer and Explanation:
The moment Razzia entered the room looking for Nollie and Flip, they quickly used the kitchen table to make a hiding place improvising so that the boys could hide and not be forced into forced labor.
They really hide there and when the soldiers ask where the boys are, Cocky is confident and sneaky stating that they are under the table, telling the whole truth, her father shows himself to be uptight and tense, but Cocky is laughing, making the soldiers understood that this was some kind of childish play.
