>The realm of King Arthur was sorely beset by the encroachments of the

>despairing the probable downfall of Camelot, turned once again to Merlin,

>"Fear not, my King" said Merlin. "I have a plan. Bring me parchment and ink 
>and all your scribes. Then bring me the youth of the nearby peasants, the 
>stable boys, and the young servants of the castle. I shall give you your 
>Knights!"

>"Merlin, oh Merlin, I fear you've lost your wisdom. It takes years to 
>become a Knight. One must grow in experience, be tested in battle and 
>character... It cannot be done" said Arthur.
>
>"Trust me, my King" said Merlin. "I have devised a method of creating 
>Knights on the instant."

>Soon, as bidden, the male youth of the nearby peasantry were summoned to 
>Camelot, along with the stable boys and the younger servants. Merlin had 
>them arrayed in a single line that stretched almost as far as the eye could 
>see. One by one, each young man stepped up to a table beneath a pavilion 
>where Merlin sat. The humble youth entered, full of fear and not knowing 
>what to expect. As they passed Merlin, he handed each one a piece of 
>parchment with the seal of Camelot printed upon it by the scribes. Each 
>parchment and the image upon it was exactly like the others. Miraculously, 
>as each young man took the parchment and placed it on his forehead, a 
>change took place in him.
>
>They all stood taller, stronger -- their eyes flashed with confidence and 
>power. As they exited the pavilion, each one was truly a powerful Knight! 
>They were handed their swords and given great horses to ride and galloped 
>off to do battle. Nearly a thousand of the humble became Knights that 
>single day. History tells us that they were successful and helped preserve 
>Camelot for yet another generation.
>
>Merlin, of course, is known to this day, as the inventor of the Printed Sir 
>Kit.
