Almost every weekend I walk over to Roslyn Primary School. My friends and I play on the playground, laugh at Bridie climbing trees and have a gossip. Every weekend we go there the knights on their horses are there too. We sit and talk while they throw waterbombs at the Princesses. They play a game of truth or dare. The knights ride towards us on their shiny metal steeds. We dodge the waterbombs and they hit the wall behind us. The princesse swing up on to the back of the steeds and ride off. They passed notes to each other, each head nodding in agreement. They dropped the notes in the dirt, kicking up dust in their wake. We pick up these notes and there is always a peice of advice or riddle written on them. Some were...
 * Treat others as you wish to be treated
 * Be careful what you wish for
 * What has four legs in the morning, 2 in midday and 3 in the evening?
 * Give me food and I will live, give me water and I will die. What am I?
 * The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
 * Where the light shines, I follow close behind, but I am it's opposite. I can move but someone or something must move me. What am I?
 * We can complain that rose bushes have thorns or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.
 * When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
 * When opportunity knocks, answer the door.

We never knew if the notes were meant for us or what they even meant, but their meaning became apparent soon after we picked them up. They always came in handy, in one way or another. Sir Riley chatted more than others. He and Princess Kelly. Also Princess Kelly's handmaiden, Hannahy. I shall really miss them.
