TRUMPETS

# Mike the Knight He's a brave young hero

# Be a knight, do it right

# There'll be trouble Double trouble

# 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! #

# A tiger is fierce A lion is scary

# Bear's big and strong A spider is hairy

# A deer is fast And a dolphin is too

# So, tell me, which animal's most like you? #

Look at that bear on my dad's flag,

I wish I had a flag with a bear on it.

Why do knights have animals on their flags anyway, Mike?

I'm not sure,

let's look it up in my Big Book For Little Knights In Training.

Hmm,

festivals, fighting scary dragons...

flags!

Oh, here we are.

Oh!

"On his flag a knight should have a picture of the animal

"he is most like."

But why does your dad have a bear on his flag?

Because he's like a bear - big, brave, and really strong.

Grr!

Ha, ha, ah, yes.

So, which animal should be on your flag, Mike?

Uh...hmm.

Galahad?

-NEIGHS

-Maybe.

Mike's really good at sneaking, and really fast.

And clever.

So, which animal is most like that?

Well, deer are fast, and foxes are good at sneaking.

And you don't get cleverer than a dragon.

Ha ha.

So, the animal that Mike is most like should look like this,

a deer-fox-agon!

LAUGHS

Mike! Mike! A wild boar is heading for the village!

Everyone's really frightened.

ALL: A WILD BOAR?

Don't worry, Mum, I'll catch it,

I'm fast, sneaky and clever.

But wild boars are silly, slow and clumsy.

Ha ha! So, you should catch that wild boar, no problem, Mike.

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

I'm Mike the Knight, and my mission is to catch the wild boar.

Ha, ha!

# Mike the Knight! #

Oof.

# Mike the Knight! #

Ha, ha, ha!

Woohoo!

Ha ha,

yeah!

# Mike the Knight! #

A scrubbing brush?

I wonder how I'm going to use that.

Yes, we're trying to catch a wild boar, not give it a bath.

LAUGHS

Catching a wild boar, oh, it's so exciting.

But what is a wild boar?

Maybe it could be the animal for Mike's flag.

No, Sparkie, a wild boar's a kind of pig,

that's not right for a knight.

It must be a really big and scary looking piggy thing

to frighten a whole village.

A scary, giant pig, with great big tusks and curly horns,

and big, googly eyes!

Aaah!

Then, it would look like this.

Aah!

Oh, oh.

I'm not sure it looks exactly like Sparkie's drawing.

Hmm, well, whatever it looks like,

I'd better get a few things to help us catch it.

OK, if you want to.

We'll meet you in the village.

Mike the Knight to the rescue.

Woo!

Look, Mike, for a little piggy thing,

that wild boar has made a lot of mess.

Yes.

Wait for me, Mike.

I've got some things to help you catch the wild boar.

A net, a dog lead,

and some chocolate chip biscuits.

-Mmm.

-Oh, Sparkie.

Thanks, Squirt.

By the look of all this mess,

that wild boar will be easy to catch.

It's clumsy and noisy.

Huh?

So, we just follow its sound.

Shh.

See how sneaky I am?

Woah!

Aah!

Oh, Mike, that didn't look like a little piggy thing to me.

No, Squirt, it was a bird,

a wild boar looks like...

SHOUTING

Help! Watch out!

Oh, no!

That's the wild boar, and he IS just a little piggy thing.

He's actually quite cute.

And he doesn't have big googly eyes at all.

And, uh,

he's gone.

Oh, no, I wanted to draw him.

Oh, look, there he is.

Great! Stay still, wild boar.

Oh, he's gone again.

Wow, he's really sneaky,

maybe even a bit sneakier than me.

But not as fast. Come on, let's hurry and find him.

Huh?

Oh, look, there he is, scratching against that tree.

Quick, Galahad, after him.

Hurry, he's going in to the trees.

Oh!

Woah!

Oh!

Keep very still, I don't want to scare it away, oh!

Woah!

SNORTS

-Hey!

-Wow, he's fast.

Yes, Squirt, but he's not as fast as a knight on his charging horse.

Ah!

Ha, ha! I knew a wild boar couldn't be faster than me.

That was fast!

Mike the Knight to the rescue.

Women and children first!

Uh-oh, the wild boar's made even more mess.

That boar is as fast as me, but there's no way it's as clever,

I bet it's hiding near the woods again, but I have an idea.

Come on, dragons, let's go.

Woo hoo.

Uh.

Hee hee hee.

Now when the wild boar comes to eat these cookies

he'll spring the trap, and the tree will lift him up in the net.

That is so clever.

NEIGHS

Now, let's cover the net with leaves

so that silly wild boar doesn't see it.

Ho, ho, ho!

Doo, doo, doo.

NEIGHS

What?

-Huh?

-I don't see anything.

Oh, well.

Doo, doo, doo...

SNORTS

NEIGHS

SHOUTS

Oh!

NEIGHS

You know, that wild boar is quite clever,

even cleverer than me.

Galahad, can you help us get down, please?

Uh, Galahad, what are you doing?

ALL: GALAHAD, NO!

Woah!

Oh! Woah, woah!

Aah!

Oh.

Oh, I'm covered in mud.

Mike, look.

Oh! Uh, uh, hello.

You know what? You are like me.

Good at sneaking, fast,

and really, really clever.

GRUNTS

Ha ha, and you're brave too.

Look, he's scratching again.

I wonder why he keeps doing that.

Maybe he's got an itch he can't reach.

And maybe if we help him with it, he'll be friends with us.

Well, I'm not going to scratch it for him.

Ha ha, you don't have to, Squirt,

I didn't think this wild boar was like me,

but he is, and I know what I'd use to scratch an itch on my back.

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

Look, wild boar.

Oh, my back is so itchy, ah, that feels better.

OK, now it's your turn.

GRUNTS

Oh, he's loving that, Mike.

He is, Squirt.

Here, Mike, you can use the dog lead Squirt brought.

Thanks.

Come on, wild boar,

why don't you and I go and find another nice, muddy puddle

somewhere far away from the village.

There you go, wild boar.

GRUNTS

Ha ha ha!

You know what, Squirt?

I know exactly what kind of animal I want on my flag.

This?

Oh, the wild boar, yes!

Because he's fast, good at sneaking around, clever and brave,

just like me!

# We think we know animals just from their looks

# We've seen pictures of them in animal books

# But there are things about them we don't always see

# That make them special just like you and me. #

GRUNTS

# 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. #
