Igraine loves her beautiful baby. He’s plump and happy in the cradle near the fireplace. Uther is nervous. He doesn’t know what to do.

Suddenly he has an idea!

I’LL CALL MERLIN‚ THE MAGICIAN. HE CAN turn into AN ANIMAL OR A BIRD. HE CAN PREPARE MAGIC potions…

Uther immediately sends for Merlin and after some time the magician appears. He is an old man, with a long white beard and dark blue eyes.

He is wearing a dark robe and a tall pointed hat.

Arthur tells them what happened and Ector turns pale. A sword stuck in a rock? This must be one of Merlin’s tricks...

“Hurry up!” Ector shouts. “Let’s ride to the Great Church!”

When they arrive at the churchyard Ector orders Arthur to put the sword back into the stone and then to draw it again. Arthur does what his father asks him: he grasps the sword and pulls it easily out of the rock.

Ector is looking at Arthur in a strange way now.

“I promised to keep the secret.” Ector continues.

Arthur can’t believe his ears. “If you aren’t my father and Kay isn’t my brother... Who am I?”, he cries.

He is afraid now. “I don’t know,” is Sir Ector’s answer. “But the prophecy says that if you can pull out that magic sword you will be king!”

LET’S SEE WHO THE NEXT KING WILL BE...

An hour later Arthur is standing in front of the stone with the other knights. He is worried and confused.

The place is full of people and animals: hens, dogs, squirrels running around. Children, young and old men and women have come from all parts to see who will draw the sword from the stone.

Merlin uses his magic to stop the fight. On Christmas Day during a terrible storm, he gathers all the people outside the Great Church in London where a massive stone suddenly appears with a sword stuck in it. “Whoever can pull this sword from the stone is the true King”, is written on the stone. Some people try to pull the sword out, but in vain.

LET’S SEE WHO THE NEXT KING WILL BE...

Kay says that it isn’t his sword. When Ector is informed that Arthur has pulled the sword from the stone near the Great Church, he kneels to ‘the true King of England’. Arthur is astonished and Ector tells him the true story of his life. Later, all the knights try to pull the sword out but only Arthur is able to do so.

OH‚ NO! MY SWORD! I FORGOT IT AT THE INN!

As the tournament is about to begin, Kay realizes that he has left his sword at the inn and Arthur offers to fetch it. It is late and the tournament is about to begin. On his way, Arthur sees the sword in the stone and decides to borrow it and take it back after the tournament. The sword easily comes out of the stone.

Some days later, an important tournament is organized not far from the Great Church. Among the best knights who come to show their ability is Sir Kay, accompanied by Sir Ector and Arthur. The knights will fight and also try to pull the magic sword from the stone. © Casa Editrice G. Principato SpA

I have a brother, Tim, who is older than me and a baby sister, Agatha. We have got a dog, Wilson and a cat, Patsy.

I like sports and music. I also like writing and posting on my blog, of course!

Hi, my name’s William Shakespeare.

I was born in 1564, that’s a long time ago! I write dramas, comedies and poems and I’m very popular in London. One of my most famous plays is Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story between two Do you teenagers know that in from Verona…

Ascolta e leggi il blog di Fiona.

Hi everybody!

Today I want to tell you about my favourite animals, chimpanzees (or chimps). I’ve just read an interesting article about them.

Even though their brain is smaller than a human brain, these animals are extremely intelligent. They can solve problems and can also communicate. In fact, they can “talk” to each other using different gestures and facial expressions.

Did you know the DNA of chimps and humans is 98.5% the same? They have expressive faces, big toes and hands that can grasp. Like us, chimps laugh when playing, hug to show affection, walk upright and can also utter sounds such as hoots, grunts and screams.

As a result, they are quite similar to us.

DNA is the material that carries all the information about how a living being will look and function. DNA can determine such things as the colour of the eyes or how the different parts of the body work..
