ONE EVENING A KNIGHT WAS RIDING ON HIS WHITE HORSE TO RESCUE A DAMSEL IN
DISTRESS.
A VIOLENT STORM SUDDENLY ERUPTED AND THUNDER BOOMED.
SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, A BOLT OF LIGHTNING HIT THE KNIGHT'S HORSE;
IT COLLAPSED AND DIED.
WITH HIS SADDLE SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER, THE KNIGHT SLOGGED HIS WAY TO
THE NEAREST VILLAGE.
THE KNIGHT SPOTTED THE NEAREST INN, POUNDED ON THE DOOR, AND WAS GREETED
BY THE LANDLORD.
"LANDLORD", SAID THE KNIGHT, "GIVE ME YOUR FINEST HORSE- NO MATTER WHAT
THE COST!"
"SORRY SIRE", SAID THE LANDLORD, "WE'RE OUT OF HORSES".
"THEN A DONKEY, A MULE!", SAID THE KNIGHT.
"SORRY SIRE", REPLIED THE LANDLORD, "NO MULES. NO DONKEYS, NOT EVEN A
PONY IS AVAILABLE".
"WELL", SAID THE KNIGHT, "WHAT DO YOU HAVE?"
"JUST A GIMPY IRISH WOLFHOUND, SIRE", SAID THE LANDLORD, PATTING THE
DOG, "GOOD BOY, FUZZBALL".
THE DOG ROSE TO IT'S FEET, IT WAS AS BIG AS A PONY- BIG ENOUGH TO CARRY
THE KNIGHT.
BUT IT HOBBLED ALONG ON THREE LEGS, THE FOURTH LEG DRAGGING LIMPLY
BEHIND.
THE DOG'S FUR SMELLED MANGY AND WHEN THE KNIGHT GOT A WHIFF OF IT'S
HORRIBLE BREATH, HE ALMOST KEELED OVER.
FUZZBALL WAS HACKING AND SPUTTERING AS THE KNIGHT CLIMBED ON IT'S BACK.
AS HE SAT IN THE SADDLE, FUZZBALL SWAYED BACK AND FORTH UNEASILY.
THE LANDLORD HELD THE DOOR OPEN, AND TORRENTS OF RAIN SLAMMED DOWN IN
BUCKETS.
THE LANDLORD SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT BEFORE THE KNIGHT COULD RIDE OFF ON
FUZZBALL.
"SIRE, I CAN'T DO IT!", SAID THE LANDLORD.
"BUT I HAVE A FAIR MAIDEN TO RESCUE!", SAID THE KNIGHT, "YOU CAN'T DO
WHAT?"
"I'M SORRY", APOLOGIZED THE LANDLORD, "BUT I CAN'T SEND A KNIGHT OUT ON
A DOG LIKE THIS".
