"Good-bye, Wizard," the knight said.
Tom slammed the door shut after him.
He did not want to help that bad knight.
Cat was licking her paws.
"What should I do, Cat?" Tom asked.
"I'll talk to the horse," she said.
That night Tom went to the jousting field.
The knight rode in on his horse.
"Whoa!" cried the knight.
The horse threw him off her back!
"This is a terrible horse!" the knight said.
He looked furious.
"She never obeys me."
"Are you ready for the spell?" Tom asked.
"Ha-ha!" The knight laughed.
"Of course I'm ready, you fool.
I want to win all the prize money!"
Tom waved his wand. Poof!
The field filled with smoke.
Cat sneaked over to talk to the horse.
A few minutes later the smoke cleared.
"I did the spell," Tom said.
"Good," the bad knight said.
He got back on his horse.
The knight rode up and down the field.
This time the horse did not throw off the knight.
This time the horse obeyed.
"Your spell worked, Wizard!" the knight said.
His grin was greedy.
"The prize money is all mine!"
