The Red Knight wants to attack, while the Blue Knight wants to be kind.Of course, the townsfolk laugh at the Blue Knight and cheer when the Red Knight goes off to battle their nasty neighbor, but whose method will save Yargle? Is violence the answer or a calm conversation? This is a tale of taming the wild beast and overcoming fear with understanding, because sometimes, our enemies are really our friends.
