A Joke

once upon a time, there was a coward knight. He had never entered a battle, but always said very proud: "I am a brave knight, because my mind keeps thinking about how to fight" no one could ever say he was a coward because he couldn't accept it. one day, when he was in his house, talking to his friends, he recieved a letter that said "We shall call you, Mr. Knight To help us in this fight. Follow the river and you might Find us and our kind" the not so brave knight laughed out loud saying "this must be a joke, i'll stay here and watch" the days passed, and he realized: all of his friends had died because he didn't believe that he was so important in that fight. ha ha ha poor knight. he cannot sleep at night because he keeps screaming to himself "they were too strong for me i wouldn't help" poor knight! poor knight! afraid of nobody but himself.
