"In comes I, a Typical Knight,
highly trained in how to fight."
"I've always found medicine quite appealing."

"In all the land, there's no one wiser than me: His Majesty's Royal Advisor"
"Hold it! One more thing ... no videos!"

"Yer killin' me!"

I think we need to call a vet."
"In comes I , a veterinarian."
"This dragon here looks mighty sick.
What happened to him? Tell me, quick."
"Is it rigor mortis?"
"No. rigatoni! It's pasta. There's a large
pasta blockage, way down in his throat."
"In my recent travels, South of the border,
I think I found some-
thing to cure this disorder."
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
