Chapter Eight: The Holy Grail①
One day the knights were sitting at the Round Table. They were celebrating a religious holiday. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Then there was a strong light. A green bowl covered with a cloth moved around the room. Invisible② hands carried it. After a few moments, the green bowl disappeared③.
"That was the Holy Grail!" exclaimed King Arthur. "That is where Christ's blood was kept after he was crucified④."
The knights were amazed. They all wanted to see the Holy Grail.
Sir Gawain, a loyal knight, declared⑤, "I want to look for the Grail for one year and one day."
"Yes, I want to look for the Grail too," said another knight.
All the knights wanted to travel to distant lands to find the Holy Grail. There was great excitement⑥ at the Round Table.
King Arthur was very worried. He knew that the search⑦ for the Holy Grail was dangerous. In fact, many knights died during the search. Others never returned to Camelot.
Only three knights found the Holy Grail. They were Galahad, Percival and Bors. All three had pure hearts. Only those with pure hearts saw the Holy Grail. The three knights travelled to distant lands. After many dangerous adventures, they found the Holy Grail.
When they saw it on a silver table, they thanked God for this great happiness. After finding the Grail, Galahad and Percival died. But Bors returned to Camelot. He told everyone about his wonderful experience.
