"Let's just kill the Barb- what so evers and then rescue the princess!" cried Shockman. Shockma was the strongest of the knights, but his amount of knowledge was the lowest in all the kingdom. The wisemen just nodded and stoked their beards. Finally, Simeon, the head council member, (of whom had supposed equality in knowledge with Serlan), rose, still stroking his beard, and said, "Now Norman," (for so was shockman's real name,) "Is that the was to rescue the princess?" Shockman (aka Norman) growled at being called by his real name. "I suggest we should try the course of defense before the course of offense. Why don't we cover the walls in mud? Then the Barbarians will be afraid of it and we will be victorious! Mud is made of paint, cherries, milk, and tomatoes, but potatoes will be good enough, for tomatoes are the same thing as potatoes."
Every body clapped as Simeon sat down, stroking his beard quickly, for exitment."Let's Begin right away!" cried Lupus.
