Day 29: Squire Saves the Day!

I woke in the middle of the night to the Nun’s screeching wails of agony. Her precious dog chased her most prized cat up a tall pine tree. The cat was too terrified to come down. She begged me to climb up after her feline friend. I wanted to tell the nun how much of a hypocrite she was, but I bit my tongue. I figured the Chivalric Code would want me to help the lady and her innocent cat. So I began shimmying up the sticky trunk of the tree. Suddenly the cat slipped and was dangling by its front paws. I climbed the tree as quickly as humanly possible. After what seemed like an eternity, I reached the frightened feline just in the nick of time. When I reached the ground, I looked down and realized that my brand new pajamas were covered with sap! My hair was full of pine needles! I spent the rest of the night picking them out and trying to salvage my pajamas. After all this, I came to the conclusion that it was worth it because I know Sir Knightlyhood would be pleased.
