GALAHAD WHINNIES

Ole!

Well done, Galahad. Excellent stopping!

GALAHAD NEIGHS

-Great galloping, Galahad.

-You've trained him so well, Mike.

Thanks, Squirt.

TRUMPETS SOUND

-Mike!

-Hey! That's Mum calling. Come on!

Hi, Evie. What is it, Mum?

-It's from your dad, the king.

-What does he say, Mum?

He's written to us about his latest mission,

rescuing people, building castles.

Knightly stuff!

Talking of knightly things, he asks how your horse-training's going.

It's going well, thanks, Mum.

He's really good. Isn't he, Squirt?

Oh, yes, Sparkie. Very good!

Excellent! Why don't you show me in the arena this afternoon?

Then I can write back to your dad and tell him how you're doing.

I'll start practising now.

-We'll help!

-I will, too! See you later.

-Thanks, Evie.

GASPS

By the king's crown! That's it!

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission is

to be the best horse-trainer in all of Glendragon.

HE LAUGHS

'Mike the Knight!'

Oof!

'Mike the Knight!'

HE LAUGHS

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

'Mike the Knight!'

A golden goblet?

I really wish Evie's magic would wear off.

Never mind. Come on! To the arena!

Yeah! Woo! Yee-haa!

-Go, Mike! Huzzah!

-Brilliant!

-What do you think?

-Will Mum like it?

-The Queen will love it.

We have to be perfect.

I want Mum to tell Dad my horse training is very knightly.

Let's see if I've forgotten anything. Here we go. Horse training.

Silent sneaking, great galloping and tricky trotting.

I've trained you to do all of those, haven't I, Galahad?

Check these two out!

I bet we're just as good as they are,

even if we don't look as good as them.

But if you looked as good as this horse, Galahad, Mum would love it.

We've got to get you some new things to wear.

-Let's get dressed up, too.

-OK!

-Come on, Galahad. Come on, dragons. To the village!

-Let's go!

Yay, the village!

It's all right, Galahad, but what about this one?

GALAHAD WHINNIES

What do you think?

-Oh, nice.

-Here, try this on.

-I like that one.

-Hey, look!

Galahad, you'll look really good in these. And listen!

BELLS JANGLE

Great, eh?

The horse in the book doesn't have these.

Excuse me, Mr Blacksmith.

Ah, Mike, what can I do for you, young knight in training?

-Could you help me put these on Galahad, please?

-Of course, sire.

Going to a party, are you?

-No, I'm showing Mum my horse training.

-Oh, I see.

Well, whatever you think best.

Hey! What about this?!

You look great, Galahad.

What if the Queen thinks he's a huge bird?

Oh, I don't think the Queen will be confused.

Galahad will still look like a horse.

A horse wearing an amazing feather. Oh, look at this saddle!

Ooooh.

Perfect! Now, it's time to show Mum what we can do.

-Come on, everyone. Onward to the arena!

-We'll catch up to you, Mike.

-We just have a few things to get for ourselves.

-See you later!

Stay here, Mr Cuddles, and don't move.

Mike should be here any moment.

Hello, Mike!

Galahad, look at all that stuff you're wearing!

Now, he's the best trained and best looking horse in all of Glendragon.

-Best looking?!

-Come on, Galahad.

-Let's show Evie how well I've trained you before Mum comes.

-Mike!

What do you think, mm?

We're the greatest looking dragons in all of Glendragon!

-And the funniest looking!

-Where's Squirt?

Ta-da! Yay!

Silent sneaking first.

Mr Cuddles is in the arena,

and you have to sneak up on him without him knowing.

-If he hears you, he'll jump away. Ready, Mike?

-Ready!

Ready, Mr Cuddles?

CROAK!

BELLS JANGLE

Galahad! We have to be quiet!

JANGLING

HE CROAKS TRIUMPHANTLY

-Oh, dear.

-Try the next one.

Great galloping!

Oh, no! I can't look.

Go, Mike. Go, Galahad!

-Oh, no, Galahad, we're stuck!

-Don't worry, Mike. We're coming.

We're the greatest looking AND most helpful dragons in Glendragon.

THUD!

THEY LAUGH

Evie, stop laughing!

HE SIGHS

The last test is tricky trotting.

This is our last chance, Galahad.

We have to trot around the arena and stop in front of Evie.

Galahad, what's wrong?

No, Galahad, don't sneeze.

HE SPLUTTERS

I am the worst horse trainer ever. What went wrong, Galahad?

GALAHAD WHINNIES AND GRUNTS

It was the new stuff I got you?

Oh, right. I'm really sorry, Galahad.

I was so excited about making you look great,

but it just made it harder to ride.

The bells were noisy, the flags got us stuck,

and the feather made you sneeze.

Hello, Mike, ready to show me your horse training skills?

By my sword, yes, we are!

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

-Go, Mike!

-Go, Galahad!

Silent sneaking first.

Got you!

HE GRUNTS

Great galloping.

Tricky trotting.

Huzzah!

Oh, well done, Galahad. And Mike.

I shall write to your dad

and tell him your horse training is going very well.

In fact, I shall tell him

that your horse training is very knightly indeed.

-Thanks, Mum!

-And I think Galahad looks rather wonderful.

Now that you've taken all those funny things off him!

You're right, Galahad. You look great just as you are.

I just wish I had something to present you with

as a special horse training trophy.

Oh, I know!

Perfect! Mike, I award you this trophy cup

for knightly horse training.

And for having the best horse in all of Glendragon!

Huzzah for Galahad the Great and Mike the Knight!

ALL: Huzzah!

# So a knight and his horse end up looking fine

# With nothing that jangles, sparkles or shines

# And Mike has learned one important rule

# Be yourself, do your best, and you'll always look cool! #

# 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. #
