Sir Reginald Strongforth, the bravest knight in the Kingdom of Carrotia, wasn't expecting a spaceship to land in his cabbage patch. One minute he was polishing his armor, the next, a gleaming silver pod had flattened half his prize-winning cabbages.
Out popped a boy with wide eyes and a carrot-cake stained shirt. "Hello!" the boy exclaimed. "I'm Ethan! And you're a knight! Like in my dinosaur books, but… real!"
Reginald, a bit flustered, adjusted his helmet. "Indeed, young man. And what brings you to… Carrotia?"

Ethan ran to Sir Reginald, who was still struggling with the webbing. “I knew even the smallest part could help!” he exclaimed. Reginald chuckled, finally free. He patted Ethan on the head. "Indeed, Ethan. Indeed. Even the smallest among us can be the bravest friend." He looked
