“It was Boldy, going as fast as he could and trying to balance his ancestral helmet on his head at the same time. When he had almost reached the others, Boldy tripped over a stone (or one of his feet) he was running so hard. The helmet flew off and bounced along, as did the burd, and the pair came to rest amongst the astounded audience. Never slow to recognise a powerful entrance, Boldy sat up, quickly found and donned his dusty helmet and announced ‘PERDIS is blocking the pass!'” ….from The Burds of Burdle, chapter two
