Once upon a time, a rich baron was riding in his carriage on the way back to his castle. All at once, the carriage stopped and there came a knock at the door. The baron opened the door to see a knight in bloodstained armour standing beside it. "Good baron, I beg of you. I am returning to my own kingdom after a long and wearisome quest to slay a dragon. The hour draws late, and I humbly request that I may stay in your castle overnight," said the knight. The baron, being a kind man, agreed to this, and the two of them rode back to the castle. When they arrived at the castle, the baron had his servants bring the knight a meal, and then directed him to his room, the first room on the left at the top of the stairs. The knight entered his bedroom, and bathed his wounds, cleaned his armour and so on. He then went to bed, and promptly fell asleep. Downstairs, the baron, who was busy reading a book, heard a knock on the door. His servant opened it, and the baron saw a knight. "Good baron, may I trouble you with a request? I am on my way to a far-off land to rescue a beautiful princess, and I simply cannot travel any further today. May I rest in your grand abode?" the knight asked. The baron was slightly surprised to have to cater for a second knight, but agreed and had his servants bring the knight a meal. He then directed this knight to the first bedroom on the right at the top of the stairs. The knight spent an hour or so planning his daring rescue, then fell asleep. Downstairs, the baron was himself getting tired, and was just about to go upstairs to his bedroom, when he heard a knock at the door. Annoyed, he opened it to see a third knight standing outside. "I take it you desire accommodation for the night, good sir knight?" the baron inquired wearily. "Why yes, good baron. I am on a quest to retrieve an ancient heirloom that was stolen from my family," the knight responded. The baron sighed, and reluctantly accepted the third knight into his home. His servants brought the knight a meal, and then directed him to his room, the second room on the left at the top of the stairs. The baron then went to bed himself, his room being at the end of the corridor at the top of the stairs. The third knight spent some time praying for the safe return of his lost treasure, and then retired for the night. In the morning, the baron, being an early riser, was the first to awake, and was sitting at the table in his grand dining hall when the first knight entered. "Good morrow, sir knight!" the baron called cheerfully, "Would you desire kippers or porridge for breakfast?". The knight pondered this for a short time, then declared that he would like porridge. He was brought his porridge, and upon finishing it, left for his home kingdom. The second knight then entered the room. The baron asked him what he would like for his morning meal. The knight mulled over the choices, and selected kippers. His kippers were brought to him, and he quickly ate them and left, continuing on his noble quest to rescue a fair princess. The baron waited expectantly, and before too long, the third knight entered the room. The baron informed him of the breakfast menu, and the knight decided that he would like some kippers. He rapidly devoured them, and left on his way. The baron sighed, grateful that all three knights were no longer his problem.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that two out of three knights prefer kippers for breakfast.
...I'm so sorry.
