Billy: It was really good today. Thierry let us see his sword!
Mai: He did what?!
Imogen: Pardon!
Billy: Yes. We had to sit down on the chair and watch.
Kira: Yes.Thierry said we were not allowed to touch it ever!
*Mai and Imogen both heave a sigh of relief together! *
Kira: Thierry said you have to really respect a weapon before you can even touch it.
Billy: Thierry said you have to train with wooden swords before you can touch a real one.
Mai: ~smiling~ And what else did Thierry say?
Billy: Thierry said –that if he ever caught us touching his sword he would put us across his knee and smack us so hard that we wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week…
Kira: With a brush. He meant it too. Thierry said…
Knock! Knock!
Billy and Kira: We’ll get it. We invited Ben to come and play-it might be him.
Mai: What fun! I wonder what Thierry said about ……
Billy: *calls from the Hall* Imogen! You won’t believe this.
Imogen: What is it?
