      The Seventeenth Samurai

      I salute you, Master Oda Nobu, greatest of all Samurai warriors!

      Arthur Lambchop bowed deeply from the waist as he spoke these words to the large poster hanging in the bedroom he shared with his brother, Stanley. The poster was for a movie called The Seventeenth Samurai. It showed two warriors—a tall samurai and a small ninja—looking very fierce. The tall samurai wore a long kimono and held a shining silver sword above his head. The small ninja was dressed exactly like Arthur, in black pajamas with a strip of white cloth knotted at his waist and another tied around his forehead. He held his hands high, like the blades of knives ready to strike. Both warriors looked as if they could leap right out of the poster.

      And then the small ninja did just that! "Hiii-yaaaah!" he shouted, as he flew off the wall. He bounced high on the bed and landed with a thud in front of Arthur!

      Prepare to be defeated, Arthur-san! the small ninja cried.

      Never! Arthur leaped up, bounced high on the other bed, and landed with a boom on the opposite side of the room. It is you who will be defeated, Stanley-san!

      The small ninja was Arthur’s older brother, Stanley Lambchop. Not long before, he had awoken to find that a large bulletin board had fallen upon him in the night, leaving him unharmed, but as flat as a pancake. By now, Stanley’s family was used to his unusual shape, although Stanley wasn’t always so happy about it.

      At the moment, however, he was enjoying himself tremendously. He and his brother chased each other around their bedroom, leaping on and off their beds with thuds and booms as they imitated the karate chops and kicks of their all-time favorite movie star, Oda Nobu.

      Boys! Mrs. Lambchop called. My teacups are rattling!

      Is there nothing you fellows can do that doesn’t make a ruckus? called Mr. Lambchop. How about a little quiet time?

      Quiet time, Stanley grumbled. He pulled off the white cloth around his head. Where’s the fun in that?

      But then he had an idea. Arthur, let’s write a letter to Oda Nobu! Maybe he’ll write back and send us an autographed picture!

      Or a ninja throwing star! Arthur agreed, his grumpiness disappearing. He rummaged through
