TRUMPETS

# But you know it's going to be all right

# Cos every day is an adventure for Mike the Knight

# Be a knight, do it right

HE WHISTLES

# Be a knight, do it right

# With Mike the Knight! #

# Behold the great castle With flag flying high

# With high towers that reach to the sky

# While inside with cushions and blankets and throne

# Young Mike the Knight builds one of his own. #

-There!

-SPARKIE LAUGHS

-Biscuits! Oh, great castle, Mike!

-Thanks, Sparkie.

Every knight should have his own castle.

Mm-hmm, there.

-CROAKS

-Looking good, Mr Cuddles.

-Hello, everyone.

-Look at my painting, Mum.

Oh, Evie! I love it!

And Mike, did you build that castle?

It's amazing!

What a great builder you are!

-Thanks, Mum. Hee-hee!

-BARKING

I've just got to go into the village to pick up some things for dinner.

Who'd like scrambled eggs on toast?

-Yum!

-My favourite!

-CROAKING

All right then. A dozen eggs it is. See you all later.

-Come along Yip and Yap.

-BARKING

Mum said I was a great builder.

Yes, Mike. You have built an amazing castle.

-I especially loved the bouncy bit.

-THEY ALL LAUGH

SCREAMING

Mum! Oh, dear!

-BARKING

-Mum, are you OK?

I'm fine, Mike. I just tripped on this paving stone.

MIKE GASPS

I'll fix it. It'll be done by the time you're back from the village.

Oh, thanks, Mike.

-Bye, everyone.

-ALL: Bye!

Are you sure you can fix that paving stone, Mike?

Of course!

He's already built a whole castle inside.

Hm, why just fix the paving stone?

Maybe I should build a castle but not a play castle, a real one!

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

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission is to build a whole new castle.

# Mike the Knight! #

# Mike the Knight! #

MIKE GIGGLES

Woo-hoo!

-Yeah!

-HORSE WHINNIES

# Mike the Knight! #

-A wooden mallet?

-You can use it to build the castle, Mike.

I think we'll need more than just a mallet to build a castle, Squirt.

With high walls and a tall tower and a drawbridge over a great big moat.

Can we have a kitchen for me to bake cupcakes?

And a bouncing room full of bouncy cushions?

And a fairytale bedroom for Mr Cuddles?

Of course we can! Whatever we want!

But we need to build the castle before we can make any rooms.

We'll need to get rocks, mud, wood, and all kinds of tools for the job.

-Let's go!

-FANFARE

Mike! Wait! What about the paving stone?

It doesn't matter, Evie.

Not now we'll have a whole new castle. Woo-hoo!

Wait for me, Mike!

HORSE WHINNIES

Come on, everyone. We'll build the new castle here.

THEY ALL GROAN

Mr Cuddles?

Mr Cuddles! Come back down.

OK, let's start with the biggest rocks. Sparkie.

OK, Mike.

Looking good, gang!

Woo-hoo!

Ha-ha! We done it! We built the walls!

So can we start on Mr Cuddles' run now?

And my kitchen!

And my bouncy room!

Our walls aren't as high as those castle walls.

But they're as high as Sparkie!

And that's pretty high!

That's true. Maybe we just need a drawbridge and a moat

like Glendragon castle.

Sparkie, use your fiery breath to mark where the moat goes.

OK, stand back, everyone!

Ta-da!

MIKE GRUNTS

EVIE GRUNTS

Looking good, Evie!

Do you think, Squirt?

Woo-hoo! Yippee!

Great work!

Now let's make a drawbridge.

But, Mike, I can just step over our moat.

Hey, so can I!

Me, too!

HE CROAKS

But a moat's supposed to make it hard

for anyone to get into our castle.

But it's still a pretty good moat, Mike.

And we made it all by ourselves.

Hmmm, I know what our castle needs!

A tall tower, as high as that one.

A tower, right.

EVIE SIGHS

Look at that! We did it! Whee!

-We built a tower!

-Yeah!

Hmmm. It's not as high as that tower up there

and it's crooked.

I love that it's crooked.

But I wanted it to be tall and straight.

I know!

MIKE GRUNTS WITH EFFORT

But Mike, you can't keep adding rocks.

Yes, I can!

It'll just get more crooked and wobbly.

No it won't, it'll be fine!

MIKE GRUNTS WITH EFFORT

Mike, stop!

Yes, maybe you had better stop, Mike.

I can't - I've got to make it taller

so our castle looks like a real castle.

The tower's getting too heavy.

The logs are splitting!

What?

Quick! Everyone back!

It's going to fall!

Oh, no!

I can't believe it! Our new castle - it's ruined!

Don't worry, Mike. We can build it again.

There's no point. It's never going to look like a real castle.

I give up!

Give up? But Mike, it was a great castle.

And we still had fun, didn't we?

Yes, didn't we, Mr Cuddles?

Mr Cuddles? Oh, no!

Where are you, Mr Cuddles?

HE CROAKS

What's he doing?

He wants his bedroom.

HE CROAKS

Look! He's making himself a bed.

And he looks pretty cosy, too.

MR CUDDLES SNORES

Oh, Mr Cuddles, you are a silly frog.

Mr Cuddles is right. He could see a bedroom here for himself.

And you know what? I can see how there can be a castle here, too.

It might not be the same as Glendragon Castle

but it can still be a castle.

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

FANFARE

Let's rebuild our new castle!

ALL: Huzzah!

We've done it! We built our castle!

I love my kitchen. Thanks, Mike!

And I love my bouncy room full of bouncy cushions!

Hello everyone! Did you build this castle?

ALL: Yes!

Oh, it's wonderful!

Thanks, Mum! We all worked hard and did it together.

Well then, you all deserve some supper.

I'll be back soon with scrambled eggs on toast for everyone.

ALL: Huzzah!

Yip? Yap? Come and get a doggy treat.

THEY YAP EXCITEDLY

Hee-hee! OK, everybody - let's get ready for supper.

Yes, but let's tidy up this stuff.

We don't want anyone tripping over.

Oh, no! The paving stone in the courtyard. I never fixed it.

Those eggs really will be scrambled if Mum trips on it again.

Quickly, Galahad.

Yip, Yap...

Mum, wait!

Mike? Woah!

Phew! Sorry, mum, I'll fix that now.

Thank you, Mike.

FANFARE

There!

Good as new!

Well done, Mike. I'll meet you back at your new castle.

Oh, I can't wait!

-I love scrambled egg!

-Whoopee!

# So Mike learnt that buildings don't have to be tall

# Even great castles can be crooked and small

# The fun's in the building, yes, things can be grand

# Even if they don't turn out, like you planned! #

MR CUDDLES SNORES

# 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

# Oh, it's gonna be all right

# Every day's an adventure for Mike the Knight. #
