A Jewish squire is about to be knighted by the queen...

and for the ceremony, he has to memorize a Latin text to recite before becoming a knight. Never having learned Latin, he spent a few weeks memorizing and working hard at it to make the ceremony as perfect as possible. The day finally comes, and when it's his time to recite, he chokes. He completely forgets all the Latin he had learned in the past few weeks, and instead, to avoid an awkward silence, starts telling a Yiddish story he would often hear his mother tell him when he was a young child. The queen, obviously quite confused, turns to one of her attendants and asks, "Why is this knight different from all other knights?"
