The next day Tom practiced some spells.
He tried to make stone bricks appear.
Poof! Cheese bricks appeared!
The knight arrived.
Cat hid as the knight looked around.
"Can you turn these bricks into gold?" the knight asked.
"This knight is greedy," Tom thought.
"You have one free spell," Tom said.
"Do you want some gold bricks?"
"Hmm," the knight said.
He walked around the lab.
Tom saw him steal some cheese.
"I do not like this knight," Tom thought.
"I want to win the joust," the knight said finally.
"I want to win the prize money.
But my horse doesn't obey me.
Do a spell that will make her obey me."
The joust was a contest at the Royal Fair.
Knights held lances and rode horses.
They tried to knock down other knights.
The last knight on a horse won.
Tom frowned. "That's cheating."
"I won the magic spell," the knight snapped.
"You must do it, Wizard!"
Tom frowned again.
The knight wore a nasty grin.
"I could sell my card to Dirk," he said.
"He is bald, but he won the free haircut card!"
Tom sighed. "Fine.
Meet me at the jousting field at midnight.
Bring your horse."
