But when Godfrey the dragon gets stuck down a well, Sam and Prune have to work together to come to the rescue. Inside the well they make an incredible discovery – a scroll giving instructions on the six quests to be completed in order to become the perfect knight! Sam’s ambition seems close at hand – if only Prune would stop getting in the way…
