<P> The head knight acknowledges that `` it is a good shrubbery '' , but asserts that the knights can not allow Arthur and his followers to pass through the wood because they are no longer the Knights who say `` Ni ! '' They are now the Knights who say `` Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing ! '' and must therefore give Arthur a test . Unable to pronounce the new name , Arthur addresses them as `` Knights who until recently said ' Ni ! ' , '' inquiring as to the nature of the test . The head knight demands another shrubbery , to be placed next to but slightly higher than the first ; and then Arthur `` must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest -- with a herring ! '' The knight presents a herring to be used . Arthur objects , asserting that `` it ca n't be done ! '' upon which the knights recoil as though in fear and pain . It soon emerges that the knights are unable to withstand the word `` it '' , which Arthur 's party is unable to avoid saying . The knights are soon incapacitated by the word , which even the head knight can not stop repeating , allowing Arthur and his followers to make their escape . </P>
