When Steward Edmund Rounds and Sir Cumference notice that there are strangers camped nearby, Rounds II decides to investigate despite being involved with the task of learning how to make accurate counts of the castle's stores of food, supplies, and weaponry. When he reports back that an enemy is lying in wait, everyone moves quickly to defend the castle. But wait! Will Rounds II be able to figure out how many bows and arrows they have to create an appropriate battle plan?

“Another great harvest day! But wait—who’s that?” asked Edmund Rounds, the castle steward. He pointed to a few small tents just visible among the trees.
            “It’s probably travelers bedding down for the night,” answered Sir Cumference.
            Just then the steward’s son bounded up the stairway.
            “Ah, Rounds 2, keeping track of everything in the castle?” asked Sir Cumference with a smile.
            The boy nodded. Everyone called him Rounds 2, since he and his father were both named Edmund.
            “Papa, I’ve finished the counts you asked for,” he said, handing his father two scrolls. As the castle’s next steward, Rounds 2 was his father’s assistant.
            “Wonderful!” exclaimed Steward Rounds. “Let’s look these over during supper.”
