King Arthur And His Knights 03

Chapter Three: Britain has a King

Arthur was a young king. He was about twenty years old. He lived at Camelot. His first years as king were difficult. He fought against many enemies from other lands, particularly the Saxons. Some noblemen of his court caused trouble①. They did not want to obey a young king.

King Arthur was very adventurous②. He liked riding his horse and looking for adventures. He was courageous, loyal③ and friendly. His people loved him.

One day, King Arthur was riding in the forest. He saw a fountain④. Near the fountain there was a knight named Sir Pellinore.

"Stop!" said Sir Pellinore. "You cannot go past the fountain! You must fight with me first!"

King Arthur answered, "I'm ready to fight!" The two knights began fighting. First they fought with their lances. Then they fought with their swords.

During the fight, Arthur's sword broke. Sir Pellinore said, "I'm the winner!"

At that moment, Merlin appeared and said, "Pellinore, this knight is your king! King Arthur!" Sir Pellinore stopped fighting immediately.
