Vikings, knights and the Middle Ages, sentence 0

Ned bursts into the classroom in his plastic helmet with two huge horns, roaring "Vikings wore these so enemies wet themselves!" And the Middle Ages of the story books are just as wild: everybody filthy, everybody dead at thirty, knights so heavy they were winched onto their horses by crane, and people who thought you'd fall off the edge of a flat Earth.

Who acts: Ned, Vikings, so enemies, Middle Ages, people, you · What happens: burst, roar, wear, wet, be, winch · To what, where: classroom, enemies, Ages, edge · Speech: someone speaks here
