The King's Bad Knights



So one day, Sebastian is very excited about putting on a play, talking about it all the way home from school. He designed some scenery (above) and got his hats together. Daniel was enlisted as the MC/narrator and also contributed some scenery. Edward was banished to the kitchen, and you can hear his protests very clearly.

The story itself is, um, ambiguous. It involves a king, a knight and a magician, and they visit two castles for various reasons. The magician creates some wind by blowing, and the king finds the lack of clouds very surprising. I think. It was a bit improvisational.

I've edited it down from a much, much longer production, but the story was no clearer in that version. (Someday, Sebastian will probably release a Director's Cut.) What I preserved here were the highlights of the performances.

Enjoy.

learning to play

While visiting mummi and ukki, D & S started experimenting with a toy xylophone, and with some help mastered a song or two. Daniel started to transfer his skills to the piano.
