At the back of the chicken shack is Ben's Den where the Knights of The Round Carpet meet.Getting a knighthood is a mysterious process that no adult has a hope in hell of understanding.
This boy however met all the criteria and is duly receiving the honour which involves being doffed across each shoulder by a chicken.
After this follows a nightly session of knightly or boyly armed and unarmed combat in full armour (if you have it). The sessions teach honour; valour; courage; axmanship; and the relative frailty of human skin and bone.
The Den Rules are prominently displayed so there's no excuse is there?

Excellent stuff!
What impressed me most was that Ben did actually come up with the rules himself....I just refined his words into a well known form. Who said morality was extrinsic? Pah.
