In fact, Alex Callahan, a news correspondent, surprises himself by enjoying the Renaissance Faire that his six-year-old twins, Kevin and Sean, have dragged him to. The boys are delighted by the jugglers and magicians, jesters and food mongers dressed in full Elizabethan costume. But it's the joust that the boys have really been waiting to see. Alex takes a break and sits in the amphitheatre, watching the joust while keeping half an eye on the twins, who have clamoured to join the children assembled to cheer on the Green Knight.

Or the bowl of water that has been left on the top shelf o
