# Be a knight, do it right... #

HE WHISTLES

# Be a knight, do it right

# With Mike the Knight! #

-Jump, Galahad!

-Go, Mike!

Great galloping!

Yeah!

# See Mike ride on Galahad

# And train his horse just as well as his dad

# Watch them leap and land with a thump

# A boy and his horse never made such a jump. #

-Huzzah, Mike!

-Huzzah!

-Nice jumping, Mike.

We're having a party tonight.

-A party?!

-Party?

I'm going to make something special

all over the courtyard with my magic.

Oh! Lovely, Evie.

And Mike, Sir Frederic the Fast is coming.

-Right, lots to do.

-Come on, Mr Cuddles.

Wow! Sir Frederic the Fast.

He's the fastest rider ever.

I read all about him in my Big Book For Little Knights.

Look, he's riding so fast.

-Wow!

-I can show him how fast I am at horse riding.

Watch this! Come on, Galahad!

Great!

Huzzah!

Perfect!

-Ooh! That IS fast.

-But not as fast as Sir Frederic.

But I will be if I practise. By the King's crown! That's it!

I'm Mike the Knight, and my mission is

to practise until I'm the fastest horse rider in Glendragon.

# Mike the Knight! #

Ooh!

# Mike the Knight! #

Ha-ha-ha!

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

# Mike the Knight! #

A fan? It's supposed to be a sword.

-Oh, dear.

-Not again!

-Evie and her silly spells.

Two feathers.

Three squashed acorns.

Never mind. I'm still going to be the fastest in Glendragon.

Oh, I need orange peel.

Go, Mike!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

-Go, Galahad!

-Faster, Mike, Faster!

A-ha! Orange peel.

Ah!

-Oh, no!

-Look out!

Oh, no!

My wand.

Evie, your magic things got in the way of my jumping.

Look! You've ruined my spell.

Don't worry. Nothing happened.

Aaaah! Yip! Yap!

BOTH: Mum!

Don't worry, Yip and Yap. It's just a bit of mud. Quite a lot of mud.

-What's happened? Oh, no!

-Oh, dear!

Is this for the party?

Weren't you doing something in the courtyard?

-I didn't put it here, Mike did.

-What? It was your magic.

But you made my spell happen too early.

You knocked my wand off the table.

Never mind. Just clean it up before the party guests arrive. OK?

-BOTH: Ohhh.

-Come on, Yip and Yap.

Ta-da! I thought these might be useful.

But I have to practise being fast.

-Mum said we both have to do it.

-Fine. We'll each clean one side.

-We'll help.

-Oh, yeah!

-Thanks, Squirt and Sparkie.

This is my side, I'll do it fast.

I'll do my side with a disappearing spell.

Oh.

"Place hand over thing to be disappeared."

Hear these magic words I say, Make this stuff go far away.

-Oops.

-Uh-oh.

-Maybe there's a better spell.

-Oh.

-Fast, eh, Squirt? Now, just pull that curtain back.

-OK, Mike.

We'll clean up properly later, right?

Of course, Sparkie.

Oh, a changing spell!

I can change the throne room back to how it was,

then we can make something special for the courtyard.

Finished my half. Now, let's go back and practise.

-Mike.

-What? Mike's finished already!

-Ah!

-Gotcha!

Aaah!

Gotcha!

Whoa, Galahad! Now, THAT was fast.

You know, Mike, maybe you don't need to go quite that fast.

"Now I'll make a changing spell to clean this room up really well.

"The magic word to make it fine changer-waynger curly vine."

Oh!

No!

I've changed the mud into tickle tangle vines. Hee-hee!

Croak!

-Hee-hee!

-Huh?

Ooh!

What's going on up there?

Mike!

Get me down!

Hang on, Evie.

Oh, no!

Phew! Now we just need to clean up this mess.

It's your mess. Wow! Ha-ha!

Hey! I didn't put any mud behind the curtain.

You didn't clean up, you just hid it!

What if Mum sees this? What will she think?

She won't be happy. We need to do this fast, before Mum comes back.

-Let's put them here.

-OK, Mike.

That works.

Well done, dragons.

I'll get the last one.

We need to put them outside, Mike.

It's faster if we put them right here. They look nice on the table.

-I'm not so sure, Mike.

-Come on, dragons.

-let's go!

-Yeah!

Oh, Mike!

Let's try another spell.

Faster, Galahad, faster!

Waaa!

He-e-elp!

I keep knocking over the jumps.

Maybe you're going too fast.

Gotcha!

Wow! What are all these bubbles?

Mike!

Mi-i-ike!

Oh, Evie.

Come on.

Evie!

Oh, Mike.

I got my spell wrong again,

and the tickle tanglers turned into bubbles.

Mr Cuddles is in there, somewhere.

He's probably having a bubble bath.

You have to help me clean up. The party's going to start soon.

We have to do it fast.

Oh, Evie. We're only in this mess because I tried to clean fast,

instead of properly.

It's time to be a knight and do it right!

Let's fan these bubbles out of here.

-Get away, bubbles.

-That way, bubbles.

Gotcha! Another one gone.

Yes! It's working. But we still haven't found Mr Cuddles.

Heh-heh! Look who I've found!

Mr Cuddles!

Oh, no! Come back, Mr Cuddles!

Wait, I think I can just about...

Oh, thanks, Mike.

-Now we can have the party.

-Croak!

Yoo-hoo! Mike, Evie!

BOTH: Mum!

Quick, the last few bubbles. Shoo! Shoo!

-Squirt, fly up and blow the last bubbles out of the window.

-OK, Mike.

-Mum!

-How are you two getting on? Oh, isn't it sparkly!

-How did you get it so clean?

-By doing it slowly and properly.

What about your fast horseriding?

There's still time for one more practice.

Wow, Mike, you're brilliant!

Come on, let's watch.

OK. Mum, the cleaning took a long time,

so I couldn't magic anything special for the party.

But Evie, look!

-Oh!

-Ho-ho-ho!

-Mum!

-Mike's ready. Go on, Mike.

# Behold, in the sky is a beautiful sight

# While down below Mike is doing it right

# Over the jumps he and Galahad go

# They once went too fast

# Now they're taking it slow. #

# Be a knight, do it right

# You can be a hero too

# Never rest on a quest

# Do the best that you can do

# They'll be trouble, double trouble But it's gonna be all right

# Every day is an adventure for Mike the Knight. #
