Garden Knights

Come little children gather to me, I have a tale to tell, a story don't you see, of knights and battles, princes and princesses and tiny hero's with golden tresses. Who fought a goblin, a big nasty thing, who lived in the tree next to the swing. He grunted and squealed tried to eat all the babes even stole sandwiches their mothers had made. The prince of the garden said "this cannot be from this evil goblin we must be free" Up stepped the knights wooden swords held high "no worries our prince for you we would die. We'll chase this goblin down out of the tree, push him from the garden, just you wait and see" "Oh brave knights" the princess said to the throng "with you at our sides what can go wrong, This goblin will be defeated that is plain to see, ~and if you hurry There'll be time for tea~" So off went the knights in armour, with shields their swords unsheathed surely the goblin must yield. One brave knight stepped infront of the rest called to the goblin "Come give me your best" without hesitation the goblin was there waving his arms he looked like a bear not the cuddly teddy kind all fangs and teeth and claws combined. The knight he was scared but stood his ground as the goblin uttered such a sound charging straight at the knight stood alone in clouds of dust, swirling arms the outcome was unknown for ages no one could see a thing had the knight fallen? did he win? suddenly silence! the picture became clear the goblin lay dead the crowd gave a cheer. The princess ran forward embraced the proud knight tired but still standing after the fight. she gave him a kiss he pledged her his life the prince said aloud she should become his wife. So to the sounds of everyones laughter they all lived happily ever after.
