Mike and Squirt! Here's the finish line. Are you ready?

Ready!

Really, really ready.

Right, then. On your marks...

..get set...

..go!

WHOOPING

-Go!

-Wow! Look at Mike go!

-Yeah!

-Poor Squirt will never win.

Maybe I could help him with magic!

-Ribbit!

-Oh, it'll be fine, Mr Cuddles. Watch!

Magic wind, blow on in. Huff and puff and help Squirt win!

Wooooooah!

No, wind. Go back behind Squirt.

Whoa!

Huh?

Whoa!

Oh, no!

Oh! I'm stuck!

What just happened?

I was trying to help Squirt win the race with magic.

But I didn't ask for any help. And now I can't get down.

Don't worry, Squirt. It's nothing a knight can't fix.

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

I'm Mike the Knight, and my mission is to rescue Squirt.

Mike the Knight!

Mike the Knight!

Woo-hoo!

Mike the Knight!

Oh, I'm not sure how this rope is going to help me save Squirt

but maybe it will somehow.

Right, let's go, Galahad.

Ohhh, what am I going to do?

Poor Squirt. This is all my fault.

I wish I could make him feel better.

I know. Hey, Squirt!

Why don't we play big-eyed statues?

Oh, mmm. I like big-eyed statues.

Ribbit!

Mr Cuddles loves big-eyed statues, too.

OK, Mr Cuddles and I will move around

until you call out "big-eyed statues."

Hee-hee! Then we all freeze and the last player to move wins.

Er, OK.

I think I might even win.

I won't play.

Mike will probably need my help with the rescue.

OK, Evie. But check this out.

Big-eyed statues.

It's OK, everyone. I'm here.

They're playing big-eyed statues to keep Squirt calm.

Oh! Good idea.

But what are we going to do about Squirt?

I've got a plan.

First, I'm going to climb the tree branch by branch

all the way to the top.

Then I'll untie the ribbon and Squirt can fly free.

It's a very tall tree, Mike. And there are a lot of branches.

Yes, but as long as I stick to my plan, it'll be fine.

Here goes my knightly rescue.

That's a really long, difficult climb.

And I'm sure I could make it easier.

Croak!

I know!

But last time, I was trying to help Squirt win

and that wasn't really fair.

This time, I'm going to help Mike rescue him and that's a good thing.

Magic, help make Mike be quick, make this tree a lot less big.

Huh?

Oh, no! What happened to the branches?

-Croak!

-Huh!

-Oh!

-Ha, ha!

You all moved, so I win. Hee-hee! Yes.

Oh! Oh, but I'm still not rescued.

Sorry, Mike. I was trying to help.

Thanks, Evie but if I need your help, I'll ask.

OK, now for my new plan.

I'm going to use my lance like this. Hah!

To help me jump high. That will take me to the top of the tree

then I'll untie Squirt, and he can fly down.

It's a good plan,

but Squirt is very high.

Maybe I should help.

Croak!

I know the smaller spell wasn't right,

but I'm sure I can do a flying spell.

Oh, what's going on?

Oh, we're playing big-eyed statues again, Squirt.

Big-eyed statues!

Right, I'm ready. Here goes my next knightly rescue.

And here comes some help.

Come on, magic! Help Mike fly, off his lance into the sky.

Whoaaaaaa!

Argh!

-Argh! Look out!

-Whoaaaaaa!

Yes! You all moved, so I won again!

Ha ha!

But wait... Oh, I'm still stuck.

-Aaaaaah!

-Ooof!

Mike!

What happened?

Erm... I was just trying to help.

Oh! Thanks, Evie, but I did have a really good plan,

so maybe you could just let me do it on my own next time.

Sorry.

I need to get up to Squirt and untie the ribbon.

Wait! Maybe I could make a pair of wings out of leaves and...

No, I suppose not.

-But Mike, couldn't I just...

-Hang on, Evie.

Maybe I could use sticky glue on my shoes and walk up the trunk.

Neigh!

No, you're right, Galahad. That won't work either.

I just need a knightly plan.

Mike!

I know a really, really good way to get you to the top of the tree.

No! No more help, Evie.

I know you think that I should stop, but I'll help you to the very top.

No!

Hey, I'm at the top of the tree.

Oh, but it's the WRONG tree!

Oh, no!

And that one's really tall and bendy.

Oh, Evie. Now I'm stuck too.

How are we going to get Squirt down now?

Oh, if only I hadn't ruined your rescue plan,

then you wouldn't be stuck up a tree

and Squirt would probably be down by now too.

It's time for me to do it right.

I'm going to stop helping and let you use your plan.

So what should we do, Mike?

Hmm! I've got it!

All we have to do is bend this tree back.

Oh, yes!

But er, how are we going to do that?

With this rope.

I'm going to drop one end down, and you grab it, Sparky.

OK, Mike.

Now, all of you pull the rope as hard as you can.

What are you going to do, Mike?

You'll see, Squirt.

OK! Now, let go.

Huzzah!

Woo-hoo! Ha ha ha!

Mike!

Hello, Squirt.

-Huzzah!

-Wa-hey!

Woo-hoo!

Mike, that was such a knightly rescue.

I suppose it was, with your help.

Maybe, but I promise that next time you have a plan,

I won't help unless you ask me to.

So now that you are down, Squirt, what do you want to do?

Have another race?

Um, no.

Let's play big-eyed statues.

-Woo-hoo!

-Huzzah!
