a punny pun
Enjoy.
There are 3 kingdoms fighting over this little island. The island isn't significant enough for all-out war, so they decide to solve it with a simple skirmish
So, each king rounds up his best knights, and sends them to the island. The different knights arrive at the island, complete with their squires. The knights are far too important to duke it out, so the squires do the fighting for them.
The first knight brings 23 squires, each of which is busy sharpening weapons, polishing armour, and generally getting ready for battle. The second knight brings 12 squires...they're doing the same, but even more so.
The third knight brings 1 squire...this guy takes a big kettle, puts all the food in it, and hangs it from a tree, so that the animals can't get it...then he takes a nap
The next morning, dawn breaks...
The squires convene on a chosen meadow. The squires from the first two sides see the third guy, standing alone, and think "We can jump this guy" So, they temporarily ally with intent of knocking the third kingdom out of contention... They come in, closer and closer, swords drawn, and an evil leer adorning their faces
But the squire fights valiantly, cutting down, one by one, all of the other squires, with great cleaving swings. Finally, as the last of his enemies has fallen, he collapses, exhausted from the exertion and dies...
Thusly proving that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.
