Page 9 - IP3A 013 The legend of King Arthur

There he erected a big stone. One top of the

stone he placed an anvil.

And inside the anvil he stuck a sword with

the following inscription: “Whoever pulls this

sword out of the anvil shall become the king

of England.”

Merlin explained to the people that the

sword was a magic sword. Only the person

who was wise enough to rule over England

would be able to pull it out of the stone.

Many nobles from all over the country came

to that churchyard in Westminster, trying

their hand at pulling out the sword from the

stone.

But they all failed, even the strongest

amongst them.
