# But Mike wonders what he has brought in his sack. #

-Psst.

-Ha-ha!

-He-he-he!

-Ha-ha!

-But, Mike, we're not supposed to see Santa.

-Rrbit!

Don't worry, Evie, he won't be there.

(Be careful, we don't want anyone to wake up.)

-Hmm. Shh...

-Keep your voice down, Squirt.

-Oooh.

ALL: Aaah!

-Santa's been here. Oh, look at all these presents.

-Wow!

-Wait! You can't open them till tomorrow.

-Rrbit.

-Oh, right, but let's see which ones are ours.

-Ahh.

-Look, Evie, here's yours.

-Oh! I wonder what it is!

Here's mine! And Galahad's.

And here's mine.

RINGING

But where's mine? Santa couldn't have forgotten it, could he?

Maybe he didn't forget. Maybe I'm on his naughty list!

-Ah, no!

-Why?

-You can't be!

Why else would I not have a present?

-I have to get back on Santa's nice list.

-But how?

By doing something nice, like helping Santa somehow.

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

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission is to help Santa.

(So I get my present.)

# Mike the Knight

# Mike the Knight. #

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Woo-hoo!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Yeah!

Woah.

# Mike the Knight. #

Some sort of harness. How am I going to use that?

Maybe you could put it on and pull Santa's sleigh for him.

I think it might be a bit heavy for me.

But I'm hoping he's still in the village. Come on.

-Ha-zah!

-Oh, yey!

Look, Santa is here. There's his sack.

ALL: Oooh.

-But where's his sleigh? And his reindeer?

-And where's Santa?

-Ho-ho-ho!

-Aah!

Delicious.

-Oh, oh, look at this.

-Wow!

-It's Santa eating some Christmas treats.

-That's it.

I know how I can help Santa.

-I'll deliver the village's presents.

-Deliver the presents?

-Yes.

-Then he'll think I'm so nice, he'll give me my present.

-Good idea, Mike.

I need you to keep an eye on him,

-and tell us if he's about to come out.

-OK.

-I'll put your present over with the others.

-Oh. All right.

Hm-hm-hm.

I'll need something to carry the sack on, like Santa does.

-Ah! Get the trebuchet from the arena, please, Sparkie.

-OK, Mike.

-I'll be right back.

-What?

But, Mike, the trebuchet isn't for carrying things,

it's for throwing them.

Santa's eating Christmas chocolates.

He's breaking them open and licking out the sticky stuff. Slllp.

-He's got a gingerbread house and a big Christmas cake.

-Good.

That should give me time to get all these presents delivered.

Shouldn't you just ask if you can help?

No, Evie, it needs to be a surprise

if I'm going to get on his nice list.

One trebuchet sleigh.

Thanks, Sparkie. Now we've got the most knightly sleigh ever.

-Argh.

-Time to deliver the first present to a villager.

This one's for Mrs Piecrust.

Here, Galahad, just leave it near her front door.

-Shouldn't he put it inside, Mike?

-Not while Santa's still inside.

-Let's go to the next house, Sparkie.

-OK, Mike.

Argh, eeh, eeh, eh.

-Right, who lives here?

-It's Hairy Harry from the horsewash.

But this one's for Mr Blacksmith. Where's Hairy Harry's present?

We've no time for this. Let's just throw a present in each doorway.

Everyone can swap tomorrow.

-What? We can't do that.

-Mike!

Santa's finished the chocolates and he's started eating

the gingerbread house.

He's picking off all the fruity decorations.

Oh, no, there'll only be the Christmas cake left after that.

-Go back and check on him.

-OK, Mike.

-Now, come on, Evie, Galahad.

Help me, or I'll never get my present.

Neeeigh.

Rrbit.

-Woooah! This snow is slippery.

-Come on, Sparkie. We need to go faster.

-Oh, if only I had some reindeer.

-Reindeer? I can help with that.

What? No, Evie, don't!

Mike, he needs some fast reindeer,

so bring them and their antlers here!

Neeeigh.

Whoops. He-he-he!

-Ah! Evie! Those aren't reindeer.

-Oh.

-Neeeigh.

Sorry, Sparkie. Sorry, Galahad.

He-he! It's OK, Evie. I like my antlers.

-Neeigh.

-Oh, well, Galahad. Ah!

Maybe you could use your antlers to help push.

-Let's go!

-Arrgh.

-Evie, your reindeer are great. We're going much faster.

-Mike!

Santa's finished the gingerbread house.

He chewed up the chocolate roof, picked out the marzipan windows,

and when I left, he was licking all the icing off the Christmas cake!

-Are those antlers?

-Yes. He-he-he!

-Oh, no, we have to go even faster.

Faster, faster.

Ooh. I'm trying, Mike.

Sparkie, watch out for the ice!

-Ice? Uh-uh, wooooah!

-Woah!

Arrgh. Ah!

Mike!

-Oh, ah, eeh!

-Wooah!

-Wooooah!

-Argh.

-Waaah!

Ah!

Mike! Are you OK?

-HE COUGHS

-Oh.

Ah! No! Our presents!

-Oh, no, they're ruined!

-Oooh.

-Oh.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...

Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas! Ha-ha-ha!

ALL: Ah! Santa!

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Those Christmas treats were delicious, but... Oh, dear.

What's happened? There are Christmas presents everywhere.

It's my fault. I didn't get my present

and I knew I must be on your naughty list.

I tried to get back on the nice list by helping you deliver these.

I wanted my own present so badly,

-I didn't worry what happened to anyone else's.

-But, Mike,

you are on my nice list.

Your present was just too big to go down the chimney.

HE WHISTLES

-Wow. Woah!

-Wow, look at the reindeer!

Wow.

Wow is right.

-Neeigh.

-Oooh. He-he-he!

-See, Mike. I think this is yours.

-Oh, Santa, thank you!

But you should give it to my friends since I broke their presents.

That's very kind, Mike,

but Sparkie, Squirt, Evie and Galahad don't need to worry.

Watch.

-They're fixed!

-Thank you, Santa.

You're welcome.

What to do about the villagers' presents?

I still have a very busy night ahead of me.

Don't worry, I'll deliver them for you.

-But, this time, I'll do it properly.

-Thank you, Mike.

And just this once,

it might be helpful to open your present a tiny bit early.

Ha-ha-ha!

But now, I really have to go.

-He-he-he-he!

-Have fun. Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas.

-Thank you, Santa. Bye, Santa.

A sled! Now I really can deliver

the presents properly. Sparkie!

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

TRUMPETS

-This harness will make it easy for you to pull, Galahad.

-Neeeigh.

There. All done. Now let's get back to the castle.

ALL: Ha-zah!

Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Neeeigh.

Neeigh.

Merry Christmas, Galahad. Ha-ha-ha!

-It's perfect, Mr Cuddles. He-he!

-Rrrbit.

Oh, I love it.

Oh, my favourite!

Oof, helping Santa is hard work.
