Reading. The Sword in the Stone (text for reading is printed beforehand. Each student gets the text. It can also be shown on the screen)

1. Wart was a page who lived in the castle of Sir Ector. The boy’s real name was Arthur but nobody called him by his name. Everybody called him just Wart. Sir Ector had a big, lazy son named Kay. Kay liked to lie in the sun and sleep. His favourite place for sleeping was a green meadow near the castle. But poor Wart had to work and work. He cleaned pots and pans in the castle kitchen. He brought water to the cook of the castle. He swept the castle yard. He polished, washed, cleaned all day long. Poor Wart! He was always tired.

2. But one day there was a strange noise in the great hall of the castle. There was a puff of smoke and there stood a strange old man. “My name is Merlin. I am a wizard,” he said. “I must give some lessons to Wart. So I am here.” Sir Ector and Kay laughed. “Lessons! Why do you want to teach Wart? Go away, old man,” said Sir Ector. Merlin waved his wand. And right there, inside the great hall it began to snow! It snowed and it snowed and it snowed. Now Sir Ector was afraid of the old man. He let Merlin stay on, and said, “Give Wart lessons, if you like.”

3. Nobody understood why Wart needed lessons, but Merlin began to teach him. One day Merlin led Wart to a lake, waved his wand and Wart changed into a little fish, and fell into the water. At first it was great fun. But then a big fish came along. The big fish wanted to catch the little fish for lunch. Poor little Wart! What could he do? He used his head. He hid in a hole so the big fish couldn’t find him. “Very good,” said Merlin. “You learned your lesson, Wart. “WHEN IN TROUBLE USE YOUR HEAD.”

4. Merlin gave Wart many lessons. Once he changed Wart into a squirrel. Wart learned to climb trees and gather nuts. Another time Merlin changed him into a bird. Wart flew high in the sky. He saw many different things and grew wiser and wiser. But still nobody understood why Wart needed lessons.

5. One day a man came to the castle. He brought news of a great tournament in London. Many brave knights were going to take part in it. The winner had to become King of all England. “It is the best way to choose King of England,” said Sir Ector. He thought that Kay could win.

6. And so they all went to London. Kay rode a beautiful white horse. Sir Ector rode a big grey horse. And Wart rode an old donkey because he was only a page.

7. After many days and many nights they came to London. And when they came at last to the tournament field Kay smiled proudly and said, “Soon with my sword 1 shall fight to become King.” Suddenly Wart ran from the field. “Where is Kay’s sword? Poor Wart forgot Kay’s sword at the inn where they had slept. Wart ran as fast as he could but when he got to the inn it was closed.

8. Poor Wart — where could he find a sword? He ran and ran. Suddenly in the meadow he saw a very large stone and stuck through the stone was a shining sword. A sword! Wart quickly pulled it out and quickly carried it back to the tournament field.

9. “But that’s not Kay’s sword!” cried Sir Ector when he saw it. Then he saw some words written in gold on the sword. Sir Ector and other people read, “Who can pull this sword out of this stone must be King of all England” Now the people understood that in that way they had to choose their King. But how could Wart pull it out? Probably there was some mistake.

10. They all went to the meadow. Wart put back the sword into the stone. Then everybody tried to pull the sword out. But nobody could do it. Only Wart could pull it out again. So it was no mistake.

11. But King must know many things. How could Wart be King? — Merlin’s lessons prepared Wart to be King. Wart was wise and knew many things. So Wart became King. There are many wonderful stories about King Arthur and his brave knights.
