" 'Whoever pulls this sward from the stone is the true-born King of England.' said Merlin."
I have heard the name of King Arthur. His name is famous, I thought. But, I didn't know what he did, who he was.
This story is that. There was a legend that who could pull a sward out of a rock was able to become a king. Nobody could pull it. But, one day, a boy (his name is Arthur) tried to pull it and he could pull it easily. So, he became a king in Britain. After that, he could get a beautiful wife. He governed impartiality using a round table. So, he was called "knight of the round table". However, he was opposed to one of the comrades. King Aurthur was defeated. At the last time, he threw the sward to rerurn to the Holy Spirit of the lake. After that, a hand appeared, shaked the sward three times and it went away into the lake.
The story is fantasy. It made me interested a lot.
