Really, I don't mind. I like tellin' stories.

Well, the Green Knight is called that because his clothes and his skin are green, and he shows up in King Arthur's court on Christmas Day. He says that one man has to strike him with his own axe, but he gets to strike that man back next year. So Sir Gawain takes the axe and chops his head off, but the Green Knight just picks his head up and tells him they have to meet a year from now. It's really a test to see if Gawain is a worthy knight.
