DOG BARKS

Atchoo! These boxes are dusty, Mum.

I know, Mike. It's definitely time for my spring cleaning.

Atchoo!

-Huh?

-Oops. Sorry.

Don't worry, Squirt. What are these poles for, Mum?

Oh, it's your dad's old knight hider game.

I haven't seen that for ages.

-The poles click together.

-Ohh.

-And there should be a flag.

-Here, Mike.

Great! Wow! Look, Evie,

-its Dad's old knight hider game.

-Knight hider? How do you play?

It's all about hiding together, as a team.

-We're a team.

-Yeah.

The team hides, with the flag,

while the finders count to 100, then try to find them.

-Oh, let's play! Sparkie, Squirt and Galahad can be on my team.

-Ooh!

Yes, and Mr Cuddles and I can be on the other team.

HE CROAKS

We'll hide, so I'll need the flag.

No, it's called knight hider, and I'm the knight, so we'll hide.

Oh, don't worry, you'll both get a turn.

OK, it will be easy to find you, and then it will be my team's turn.

You'll never find us, Evie,

because we'll be good at knight hiding, won't we, team?

-We will.

-Yes.

-But is knight hiding difficult?

Not if you're hiding with a real knight like me. I'll show you.

By the King's crown, that's it!

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission is

to have the best team of knight hiders ever.

Mike the Knight!

Ooh.

Mike the Knight!

HE LAUGHS

Woo-hoo!

HE LAUGHS Yeah!

Mike the Knight!

A floppy rope? Oh, Evie, look what your spell has done.

Well, you don't need a sword to hide anyway.

No, you just need a knight like me. Ready to hide, team?

ALL: Yes!

Let the game begin! Onward to the village.

You can count too, Mr Cuddles. One, two, three...

-Where should we hide, Mike?

-Well, team, let's split up and look around.

ALL: OK.

-How about here, Mike?

-Not exactly, Sparkie.

-Oh, Mike. Huh-oh.

-Oh.

Not quite, Squirt.

Over there, team! Behind that cart,

it's the perfect place to hide.

How are we doing, Mike?

Mmm. Tuck your tail in, Sparkie, head down, Galahad.

Twist your feet in, Squirt.

-Sparkie, watch your tail, it's still sticking out.

-Whoops.

Ready or not, here I come!

Look, Mr Cuddles, Mike's flag is sticking out.

HE CROAKS

Ssh.

HE CROAKS

Found you!

But how?

-Sparkie, you left your tail poking out.

-Me?

-That's how Evie found us.

-But I, I tucked it right in, like you said.

-Actually, Mike, I...

-Must have been you, Sparkie,

it wasn't me, I'm great at hiding.

I'm sorry, Mike.

Don't worry, Sparkie,

not everyone can be as good at knight hiding as I am.

-Maybe I should be on Evie's team instead?

-Good idea.

Now we can have another go at knight hiding.

-What? But it's our turn to hide!

-HE CROAKS

Oh, Evie, it wasn't our fault we got found, give us another chance.

All right, one more chance.

Yes, let's hide somewhere else in the village.

Yes!

It won't be easy to find him, he's a great knight hider.

He's not as good as he thinks, Sparkie, you'll see.

THEY COUNT

Over there, team, behind the blacksmith's workshop. Come on!

Wings in, tail in, head down, twist feet, tuck bottom, tuck tail.

-Galahad, your ears! Oh, MY ears!

-Ssh, or Evie will find us again.

-Er, Mike?

-Ssh!

What about...?

I know, I was just about to do that.

Now, ssh.

No noise at all, be as quiet as a mouse. Oh, no, they squeak.

Be as quiet as...

That's Mike's voice.

-It's coming from the blacksmith's.

-Yes, come on.

Be as quiet as a leaf, or a blade of grass. Ssh.

Shush.

-Found you!

-Oh!

Oh, not again!

-How did you do it?

-We heard a voice.

See, Squirt? They heard your voice, and that's how they found us.

-But, Mike.

-GALAHAD WHINNIES

Oh, I'm not a very good knight hider.

-Can I join your team, Evie?

-Of course you can, Squirt.

Don't feel bad, it's fun on my team. And besides, Mike is easy to find.

I am not! If you give me

another chance to hide, you'll see.

OK, but we'll just find you again. Ready, team?

ALL: One, two, three, four...

Come on, Galahad!

ALL: ..six, seven...

-Hello, Mike.

-Hairy Harry's horse wash, the perfect place to hide.

Come on, Galahad.

Ha! They'll never find us here.

CLATTER

Ahh, Galahad!

Ow, my foot!

GALAHAD WHINNIES

Ssh.

Oops. Better get the flag down.

Oh... Oof!

Huh? Galahad... Whoa!

Whoa!

What's going on? Oh!

Oh, no!

Mike, what have you done to Hairy Harry's horse wash?

It wasn't me, it was Galahad.

GALAHAD WHINNIES

If it was Galahad, how come my control wheel's

stuck on the end of YOUR flag pole?

What?! That means it was me.

It must have come off when I got the flag stuck.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Oh!

-The hose, I'll stop it!

-I'll help.

Aah!

GALAHAD WHINNIES

I'm sorry I blamed you, Galahad.

-You shouldn't have blamed Sparkie or Squirt either.

-What?

You mean it was ME who gave us away before too?

Yes. First, your flag was sticking out,

then I heard you telling everyone to be quiet.

Oh, I've been a terrible team leader.

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

This is all my fault, but we can fix it if we work as a team.

OK, but hurry, Mike.

Come here quickly, team.

You hold the rope, I'll attach the wheel and stop the machine.

OK, Mike.

Oh, hurry, Mike. We can't hold this hose for much longer.

Don't worry, Sparkie.

Agh...

The wheel, it won't turn! Galahad, you try.

-Phew.

-HE CROAKS

Well done, team. ALL: Huzzah.

BOTH: Huzzah!

I suppose you want another turn at hiding?

No, it's your turn, Evie.

-Maybe you should take Sparkie, Squirt and Galahad with you.

-Why, Mike?

Evie should take you because you're the best knight hiders ever.

Hey, Mike thinks we're good at hiding.

-GALAHAD WHINNIES

-Then, let the game begin.

One, two, three.

# La-la-la-la-la-la

# So, in the end, it all worked out

# Mike's friends helped him stop the water spout

# And what he has learned I will sing in this song

# We don't blame our friends for things we get wrong. #

# Be a knight, do it right

# You can be a hero too

# Never rest on a quest

# Do the best that you can do

# There'll be trouble, double trouble

# But it's going to be all right

# Every day is an adventure for

# Mike the Knight. #
