Sir Chucklenugget and the Metal-Munching Manticore! 🛡️🦁

Have you ever broken something by accident and felt so embarrassed that you made up a story to cover it up?  That is exactly what happens to Sir Chucklenugget! While trying to show off his "Knightly Strength" by lifting his own castle drawbridge with his bare hands, he hears a loud SNAP! The bridge crashes into the moat, and the knight is so ashamed that he tells a giant, scary lie about a Metal-Munching Manticore attacking the castle! 

Suddenly, the whole village of Snaggleton is in a panic!

Sir Chucklenugget even goes as far as denting his own beloved armor with a rock to make his "fierce battle" story look real. But when he sees his friends putting themselves in danger for his lie, he realizes that the truth is the only thing that can truly save the day. 

In this kids story podcast episode, our favorite knight learns that it takes more strength to admit you're not perfect than it does to lift a bridge. It’s a magnificent lesson about honesty and how "The Truth" is much lighter to carry than a heavy lie.
