When an unknown knave knocked the knight off his horse and forced him to kneel before him on the knoll, the knight knew he had to acknowledge the young knave's knack for battle and recommend him for knighthood.

The rookie knight was delighted because he would now have the admiration of all the people and have lots of servants! Now, someone else would have to knead the dough, sharpen the knives, polish the knobs, pack his knapsack, tie his knots, and knit the knees of his knickers and the knuckles of his gloves.
