King Arthur's Knights were brave like Sir Lancelot the Great. They were smart like Sir Givret the Short. But they didn't always act quite as . . . gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthur's nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone, like a giant Green Knight, needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage.
