LANCELOT

Sir Lancelot was on a mission. King Arthur had a message that needed to be deliver to Merlin at once. The second day out his horse drew up lame. He stopped at the castle of a local duke. Alas, the duke's horses had been struck with disease. Lancelot was very worried.

The Duke's wife said "The only thing we have left is Bruno, the dog..." she pointed at a huge Bullmastiff.

Lancelot looked at her and said "Surely, you would not send a knight out on a dog like this"

The palace was being beseiged by a Yellow Giant. Everytime a knight would try to leave the giant would put his hand in front of the draw bridge. So no one could cross it. The situation was getting desperate.

Finally, a young man, a page, volunteered to try. He decided that perhaps, if he just walked slowly and quietly the giant would ignore him.

He was right, he crossed the bridge, right past the giants hand which proves

Always let your pages do the walking through the yellow fingers.
