Sir Arthur had just finished soldering the last touches to his flying horse, Peggy, when Alfred, his trusty knave, came running into the Knight Cave, yelling that the evil mecha-dragons were back. Arthur began firing up Peggy while Alfred tried to catch his breath. “Shall I get the hay?,” Alfred gasped. Sir Arthur climbed on to Peggy, turned to Alfred and snapped, “Hay? Where we’re going, we don’t need… hay.” Then he flipped down the tinted visor of his armor.
