Sigurd's answer to this was quite extraordinary and took everyone by surprise. He started taking off all his clothes. He pulled off his boots. He pulled off his jacket. Then he removed his shirt and started on his leggings.

‘What's he doing?’ whispered Mrs Ellis.

‘Taking all his clothes off,’ said Mr Ellis, not quite believing what he was seeing. Zoe clutched at her father's arm.

‘Daddy I know what he's doing! He's going berserk!’

‘Berserk?’ repeated Mr Ellis. ‘He's stark raving bonkers if you ask me!’

‘No, no! That's where the word berserk comes from. A “berserk” was a Viking warrior. When faced with terrible odds in a battle they took off all their clothes and then charged into the fight!’

‘What an extraordinary thing to do, and what peculiar things you learn at school,’ said Mr Ellis.

By this time Sigurd was sitting on the stone floor, pulling at his leggings and muttering to himself. ‘I berserk warrior. I cover garden with blood of Mr Blue-hats!’
