Mike the Knight and the Broken Shield Mike the Knight

# Mike the Knight He's a brave young hero

# Be a knight, do it right

# He's a trainee knight But does he show fear? No!

# Be a knight, do it right

# There'll be trouble Double trouble

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

# And every day is an adventure for Mike the Knight... #

Whoo! HE GASPS

# Be a knight, do it right... #

LAUGHTER

# Be a knight, do it right

# With Mike the Knight! #

# Here's young Mike

# He needs many things to be a knight

# Just like the king

# A lance, shield, arrows and bow

# He keeps them clean and ready to go! #

Squirt, have you borrowed my shield lately?

Erm... no, Mike. Why?

Because it's broken. Look, the dragon's come off.

Oh, no! But, you know, sometimes things do just break.

Someone must have borrowed it. How else could it break?

I need to keep my knightly stuff safer. Huh!?

Mike! Jam!

Delicious troll jam!

Ma Troll's making a new batch.

-But she's worried the Vikings...

-HE PANTS

The Vikings!

-The Vikings might smell it.

-And try to eat it if they do.

-Yes!

So Trollee wants our help keeping the Vikings away from the jam.

Help Trollee? Of course!

-HE GASPS

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

I'm Mike the Knight and my mission

is to help Trollee keep Ma Troll's jam safe.

MIKE LAUGHS

# Mike the Knight

# Mike the Knight! #

Ha ha ha ha!

Whoo-hoo!

He he he he!

Yeah!

# Mike the Knight! #

A fishing rod?! Evie's magic again.

How's this going to help with my mission?

I don't know, Mike,

but we need to get to that yummy troll jam before the Vikings do.

You're right, Sparkie! To the Maze Caves!

ALL CHEER

HUMMING AND LAUGHTER

Ohh, jam hot! Put here to cool down.

ALL: Hi, Trollee.

Thanks for coming, everyone!

I can't keep three Vikings away from delicious troll jam all by myself.

No-one can!

Jam safe with Mike and dragons, Ma.

Hmm. Oh, now get more fruit.

Make more jam. SHE LAUGHS

-BOTH: Bye!

-Bye, Ma. Bye, Pa.

We'll keep your jam safe. Don't worry.

Ohh! I think I know how. Can I borrow your shield?

The Vikings love bouncing off it.

Hmm! Good idea, Trollee. That'll keep them busy.

-A good bounce!

-Argh!

Whoa! I'm not a Viking, Sparkie.

And your belly's not a shield.

Whoops! Sorry, Squirt.

-MIKE LAUGHS

-And my shield's broken.

If you bounce the Vikings off it, it might get even more broken, Trollee.

Oh, that's a shame.

Maybe there's something else you can do with them instead.

Oh, I know! Can I borrow your lance, Mike? The Vikings love to limbo.

CARIBBEAN MUSIC

ALL LAUGH

See. If I borrow your lance,

all the Vikings could limbo under it together.

-And they'd forget all about the jam.

-Yes, Trollee.

I'll get Mike's lance now.

You can borrow it, Trollee,

but I have to show you how to use it first or it might get broken.

-Like my shield!

-Oh, but, Mike, sometimes things do just break.

Like when I was a teeny-weeny dragon, I had a special dragon cup

that I really loved, but one day the handle broke off just like that.

Oh, I was really upset.

Oh, Squirt, things don't just break.

You must have pulled the handle off by accident.

-No, that's not what...

-Here you are, Trollee.

-One limbo-ing lance.

-Thanks, Sparkie.

But Mike's going to show me how to use it so I don't break it.

-Hmm? Break it?

-Yes, Sparkie.

To use a lance properly you have to be able to...

-Erm...

-HE GASPS

You have to be able to do this!

Yeah!

And you have to be able to do this! Hup!

I thought your shield was broken, Mike?

What? Oh, it is. So unless you know what you're doing,

you shouldn't use a lance.

But...do you usually...?

So, Trollee, do you think you could do all those things?

Oh, well, I'd better use the lance then.

Maybe I can borrow your bow and arrow instead?

The Vikings love chasing things.

If I fire arrows, they could fetch them.

Oh, yes. That would definitely keep them away from Ma's jam.

-I'll get them now.

-HE CHUCKLES

OK, Trollee, but a bow and arrow are really tricky to use.

If you don't know how, you might break them.

Maybe, but sometimes things break on their own.

I was painting a lovely picture of a dragon the other day

when my paintbrush just broke.

There must have been a reason why it broke.

Not on purpose, but maybe you were pressing too hard.

No, I wasn't.

-HE PANTS

-Here you are, Trollee.

-Oh!

-I'm going to show Trollee how to use them first, Sparkie.

He might break them if he doesn't know how to... Erm... Yes!

Fire from small spaces.

You have to be able to fire over things.

And under them too.

You're right, Mike, I probably would break your bow and arrow,

if I try to do that.

So I should use them instead.

But that's not how you usually use your bow and arrow, Mike.

Usually, you just...

Ohh, Mike, can I borrow your trebuchet then?

I can fire things out of it for the Vikings to catch. They love that!

You're right, Trollee. That'll keep them away from Ma's jam.

I'll get it!

OK, but my trebuchet's my most knightly piece of equipment.

-So...

-So I probably won't be able to use it, in case I break it.

Yes, but I still think things sometimes break on their own.

Look at my dragon doll. I was playing with it the other day

and all of a sudden one of its wings fell off.

Oh, no! Poor dragon doll.

That is a shame, Squirt, but you do get excited when you play with it.

-So maybe by accident you pulled its wing off.

-Hmm. I don't think so.

-HE GROANS

-Mike!

Mike, I've got the trebuchet, but I saw the Vikings!

They're coming!

The Vikings! HE WHIMPERS

Oh, no! I have to get ready!

But, Mike, I thought Trollee

was going to use the trebuchet to play catch.

I know, Sparkie, but I don't want it to get broken like my shield.

-ALL:

-Yummy jam! Yum, yum, yum!

Don't worry, I'll keep them away from it.

-ALL:

-Yummy, yummy jam!

Who wants to play catch?

Whoa! It's broken! How could my trebuchet just break?!

-THEY CHUCKLE

-Oh, no! They've got Ma's jam!

Oh, now the jam's gone and it's all my fault.

I didn't want to let you use any of my knightly things,

because I was worried they would get broken.

And your trebuchet broke anyway when YOU were using it.

I know! Squirt was right, things can just break

when anyone's using them.

-Even you.

-Yes!

-HE GASPS

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

-We're going to get Ma's jam back.

-ALL: But how?

I've got a plan and it means everyone using my knightly things.

To the beach!

ALL: Mmm! Jam ready!

THEY GASP

Ready, everyone? Let's go!

Fetch!

Fotchsie?! Ya, ya.

-Limbo!

-Ooh, limbosie, limbosie.

And catch!

Cootchsie!

SHE LAUGHS

-Hu-hu-hu! Oosie!

-Cootchsie!

Get the jam back, Trollee. I've got just the thing.

-Your sword, Mike. Really?!

-Yes, use it to hook the jam pot.

Yes!

HE CHUCKLES

OK, Vikings, you can have some of Ma's jam.

-ALL LAUGH

-Jam!

-Stocky!

-Jam!

I've got the jam, Mike. Let's go!

-Yes, Ma Troll's jam is safe.

-Let's all have a taste!

-Delicious!

-Delicious! Uh-oh!

My spoon's stuck!

-Oh, mine too.

-And mine.

Troll jam is so sticky.

Hang on, maybe I could use it to fix my shield.

Yes! Look at that! Good as new!

-Yes!

-Great!

-Well done, Mike!
