Synopsis:
Slasher and Tana, the Silent Knight's falcon and steed, debate over which of them is more valuable to their master. They each tell a tale of their adventures to a group of animals who will judge which is best. Both animals make equally good cases as to their value, which divides the group.

The meeting is interrupted when the Silent Knight appears. He requires the aid of both falcon and horse to defeat a pair of brigands. After both animals acquit themselves well, the group of animals come to an agreement that both Slasher and Tana are both equally important to the Silent Knight.
