# The dragons and Mike will be singing a song

# Working it out so they don't get it wrong

# They will play well, dancing too

# Listen now and they will play it for you. #

Ready, everyone?

We're going to play a song as a surprise for Mum

-when she gets back from the village.

-She'll love that!

But what song, Mike?

Um, it would be nice if it was one she hadn't heard before.

But if WE haven't heard it before either, how will we play it?

Well, we could just play our instruments

and whatever sounds we like, we'll put them in our song.

You mean, just make it up?

HE TRUMPETS

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

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission is to make up a new song for Mum.

HE LAUGHS

Mike the Knight!

Oof!

Mike the Knight!

HE LAUGHS

Woo-hoo!

HE LAUGHS

Yeah!

Mike the Knight!

A tiny triangle?!

GALAHAD NEIGHS

You're right, Galahad, it's NOT a very knightly instrument.

I probably won't use it in our song.

OK, let's start. A-one, two, three, four.

SPARKIE DRUMS

SQUIRT TRUMPETS

And stop, Mr Cuddles, and sit.

Evie, we're trying to... Whoa!

Evie, we're making up a new song for Mum, but it's hard with you

-and Mr Cuddles running around making lots of noise.

-Sorry, Mike.

I'm trying to train him but we'll do it quietly somewhere else.

That would be great, Evie. Thanks.

Right, Mr Cuddles, come on, shake hands.

HE CROAKS

OK, something else then.

Um, roll over.

HE CROAKS

Come on, it's easy!

Oh, Mr Cuddles, how can I get you to do what I want?

I know, with magic!

HE CROAKS

'With this spell I cast today

'You'll do all the tricks I say.'

Oops, my magic hit that gargoyle.

Oh, you're the cutest thing I've ever seen.

HE GIGGLES

It's woken him up!

THEY LAUGH

Maybe I can teach you new tricks instead of Mr Cuddles.

Roll over.

Well, that's spinning, but it's good.

MR CUDDLES CROAKS

Put him back? No, not yet.

We're going to learn some new tricks. First you need a name.

Hmm... Gargoyle!

BAND PLAYS

-MIKE:

-# La la la! #

# La la la! #

SHE LAUGHS

Now you're copying Mike.

-# LA LA LA! #

-Oh, not so loud! I promised Mike I'd play quietly.

-LOUDER:

-# GA GA GA! #

HE CROAKS

Evie, is that you singing?

GARGOYLE SINGS

-EVIE MIMES:

-# Ga ga-ga, Ga ga-ga, Ga-ga ga-ga ga-ga-ga! #

Wow, I didn't know you could sing like that, Evie!

Come and sing with us.

Um, I can't right now because I'm still teaching new tricks.

Oh, OK.

Could you teach a little more quietly so we can finish our song?

Of course, we'll play quietly.

Thanks, Evie.

Did you hear, Gargoyle? We must be quiet.

SSSSHHHH!

You'll do what I say, won't you, Gargoyle?

Oh, you're so cute.

Spin around like this.

Quietly.

HE CROAKS

WHEEE!

WHEELBARROW TOPPLES LOUDLY

GARGOYLE LAUGHS

Ready?

-EVIE:

-Come back. No, don't go that way!

I didn't realise teaching Mr Cuddles tricks would be so noisy!

No, we need somewhere quieter to play.

GALAHAD NEIGHS

The Throne Room! Good idea, Galahad.

Come on. We won't hear Evie up there.

GARGOYLE GIGGLES

Come back!

BAND PLAYS

Huh?!

No, Gargoyle. Not Mike!

Oops, sorry, Mike. I'll get it.

HE GIGGLES

-Got it, Mike.

-Thanks, Squirt.

-Ready?

-Er, no. Where's my trumpet?

TRUMPET PARPS

Hey, someone's taken it.

HE GIGGLES

Oh, Gargoyle!

Here, Gargoyle. Give Evie the trumpet.

Oh!

Oh, Gargoyle!

Oh, come back!

That's it, Gargoyle. Good boy.

Evie.

-Hi.

-Evie, we need to practise Mum's song. Did you take Squirt's trumpet?

No.

-Um...

-If you want to play my trumpet, you only have to ask, Evie.

Yes, why don't you come and play with us?

SQUIRT TRUMPETS

-The Throne Room!

-Yes, that's where we're playing.

DRUM POUNDS

Now she's playing my drum.

But how did she get up to the Throne Room so fast?

Oh, Gargoyle, no!

SH! Give the drum to Evie.

Evie, what are you doing? And who's that?

Oh, it's Gargoyle.

Gargoyle? Where did he come from?

He was a statue in the garden.

I accidentally woke him up with magic.

-I thought I could play with him quietly...

-Wa-hey!

..but I should have put him back while you were making up your song.

It's time for me to do it right.

I need to put Gargoyle back.

HE CROAKS

GARGOYLE GIGGLES

Come here.

Oh, we'll never catch him like this.

Is there anything he likes we can give him?

No, he just likes laughing.

HE GIGGLES

-Maybe if we make him laugh, he'll follow us.

-Great plan, Evie.

Sparkie, Squirt, can you do something funny?

Gargoyle! GARGOYLE!

HE GIGGLES

That's great. Your turn, Mike. What can you do?

Er, I know, this!

HE GIGGLES

Follow me. We'll lead him back to the wall.

# La, la-la, la-la-la. #

THEY ALL SING

GARGOYLE GIGGLES

MUSIC SLOWS

GARGOYLE YAWNS

Ah, he's turned back to stone again.

-Oh, it's YOU playing.

-Mum!

I heard your music and followed it here.

-I've never heard such a beautiful song.

-Thanks, Mum. It's new.

-We all made it up together.

-A new song? How lovely.

-What's it called?

-Um, I know! It's called the Sleepy Statue Song.

-Yes.

-The Sleepy Statue Song.

-Perfect!

What a strange name.

# Gargoyle, he isn't making a peep

# The lullaby helped him to sleep

# It wasn't time for him to have fun

# But he'll soon play again with everyone! #

SHE TRUMPETS

THEY ALL LAUGH

# 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. #
