Sir Lancelot

Sir Lancelot had fought a bitter battle all day, and didn't want to quit when his horse was killed. Despite the thunder, lightning and the rain, he managed to stagger to a nearby farmhouse where he asked the farmer to lend him a horse so he could return to battle. "I'm afraid I don't have any horses to spare, but I have a large St. Bernard dog you could use." Sir Lancelot took one look at the huge shaggy dog and then at the dark and stormy sky. "Surely," he said, "you wouldn't send a knight out on a dog like this."
