14. Radius’ Quest: The Search for King Lell In Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland, Radius desires to complete a quest to earn his way to becoming a knight. To do so, Radius must find the missing King Lell. Many others have attempted this quest, but have failed. As his journey becomes increasingly dangerous, Radius receives this coded message: Warning, stranger, friend or foe, Dangers wait as forth you go. You must make a Knightly Right, Finding next Big, Straight, and Slight. One wrong turn means lost to all, In a writhing, screaming fall. Find the Right to reach the king, Or you will feel the dragon’s sting! -- The Brothers Zig and Zag Re-create the coded message for the path to find King Lell using proper geometric terminology to describe the way to rescue the King.
