Chapter Four: Excalibur

Arthur rode away with Merlin and said, "I broke my sword during the fight with Sir Pellinore. I am king because of that sword. I must have another sword."

"Come with me then," said Merlin.

Arthur followed Merlin to a lake of clear water. In the middle of the lake, Arthur saw an arm. The arm was holding a sword in a beautiful scabbard①.

"Look!" said Merlin. "That is the sword and that is the Lady of the Lake. Ask her kindly and the sword is yours."

Arthur saw a beautiful lady in a boat on the lake. He asked her, "Can I have that sword?" She answered, "Yes, you can have it. Take my boat and go and get it."

Arthur and Merlin went to the middle of the lake. There Arthur took the sword. He was very interested in it. He took the sword out of the scabbard and looked at it. It was a beautiful sword with jewels on it.

"Look, Merlin" he said, "the word Excalibur is written on it."

"Yes, Excalibur is the greatest sword in the world. But its scabbard is more precious."

'Why?' asked Arthur.

"It has a great magic power," said Merlin. "When you wear it, you never bleed② I even if you are wounded③. When you fight, you must always have the scabbard with you."
