(4) K-3 Two unnamed male kitchen denizens find first a sword, then a shield, and finally a helmet in the oven, which leads to a dunderheaded debate about the culprit's identity ("Pirates! Who will make us wear parrots on our heads"). Meanwhile, they haven't seen their knight friend Harold in a while... The nimble watercolors both reinforce the zaniness and add to the confusion.
