I believe the moment when Jane and Robert fall through a hole in the carpet is interesting in a couple of different ways. The whole idea of a magic carpret is very much something that would be found in childrens fantasy. The carpet in The Phoenix and the Carpet is thing that actually allows the children to go on adventures that kids with normal carpets and rugs are not able to do. When the magic carpet actually rips and gets worn down i believe this takes me out of the fantasy element in a way. This is a notable moment to me because i believe a magic carpet should not break so easily.
The chilren actually being able to ware down a magic carpet is also interesting to me. The fact that the children did not treat the carpet with much care shows another negative side of them. When Cryil rips the carpet in chapter ten they act like it is not that big of a deal and simply sew it up. If me and my friends had a flying carpet, we would treat it with much more care and respect.
