The third kingdom was very poor, and only sent one elderly knight with his sole squire. The night before the battle, the knight sharpened his weapon, while the squire, using a looped rope, slung a pot high over the fire to cook while he prepared the knight's armor.

@sydneyfalk it's actually Sam the Octopus, down where it's better, down where it's wetter, under the sea
@troubleMoney @benhamill This is the BEST, I am so happy to have a replacement for the similar old chestnut that is, uh, not terribly respectful of Native American culture. Thank you, it's terrible, I love it 😄
The next day, the battle began. All the knights of the first two kingdoms had cavorted a bit too much (one should never cavort while sharpening weapons and jousting) and could not fight. The squire of the third kingdom could not rouse the elderly knight in time for combat. So, in the absence of the knights, the squires fought.
