The Knight with No Bottom

In the heat of battle, a dragon took a bite. . . and now our brave fellow is a bottomless knight!

The poor knight is devastated after losing his bottom. He can't possibly ride his pony back home, and what princess would fall in love with a knight with no bum? So the knight does what he does best: he doesn't give up. He searches the lands high and low until he finds it at last: a bottom shop that sells all kinds of bottoms, bums, booties, and butts! Will our brave knight find a princess who loves him at last? Will he ever sit astride his pony again?
