The challenge hung there like a bad smell in a phone booth. The crowd went silent, waiting for our answer. Suddenly, a messenger burst through the doors at the far end of the Great Hall.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Bleob the Giant stands at the very castle door. He demands three fair damsels to eat instantly.”

King Arthur looked worried. The fair damsels in the crowd looked worse than that.

Another messenger dashed into the hall, nearly running over the first. “Smaug the Dragon has been seen flying from the West. He will be at the castle walls in minutes.”

“Aha,” said Merlin with that evil-teacher voice and smile again. “Here is a perfect test for our enchanters.”

“Go ahead and hit him with your stick, Fred,” said Sam. “At least we’ll be safe from giants and dragons down in the dungeon.”

Fred lifted his stick.

“No, no. We can’t do that,” I said.

“What do you suggest we do, Mr. Magnificent?” said Sam.

I looked at Merlin, then at Queen Guenevere.

“I think we should go find out if dragons and giants are for real.”
