After Bea's self-defense lessons, she goes to the big city to seek out animals who need help so that she may be knighted for her glorious deeds and become a member of the Knights of the Golden Fleece. Only the animals she tries to help didn't truly need her "help."Kristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436340755679439025.post-60384555135883820212008-08-05T06:43:00.000-07:002008-08-05T06:43:00.000-07:00Wow!

A sheep suspended in a ribbon had long been a symbol of British woolen merchants. Dating from the 15th century, it had been the emblem of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. In ancient Greek mythology, a magical flying ram, or Golden Fleece, was sought by Jason and the Argonauts. </I><BR/><BR/>The Knights of Golden Fleece! Wow.
