KING ARTHUR Long ago in England, a wise and just king ruled the land. His name was King Uther. Times were good and the people lived well. King Uther wanted a magician at court. And so, he chose the famous Merlin the Magician. Merlin could see into the future. King Uther and the Queen Guinevere had a child, a baby son. Sadly, soon after the child's birth the Queen died. Not long after, King Uther was killed in battle. That very night, Merlin swept into the castle ad took the child. He went with Sir Ector and asked him if he would raise the child. When Arthur was ten years old, Merlin returned to Sir Ector's home. Merlin would sit with Arthur for hours and teach him about the world. One night Merlin the Magician came to London's market square, he stood in the middle of the square. He held both his arms high, and pointed his wand to the stars. The next morning people started to arrive at the market, they saw a giant stone with a golden sword with these words "Whoever pulls out this sword from this stone is the true king of England!" Alot of people tried to pull the sword but no one could until Arthur came. One called out at last. "He must be our new king!" "We have a king!" called another. Merlin appeared and pointed to Arthur "He is the true child of King Uther" At last, a king had been chosen. Afresh young king, and a new day for England!
