A. The Saxons

B. The News

D. Arthur and Kay

1) Long, long ago a young boy, whose name was Arthur, lived in the west of Britain with his father, Sir Ector, and his elder brother, Kay. They lived in a beautiful castle. The family had good food to eat and fine clothes to wear, but Arthur knew that times were not easy for most people: the country was at war. Like a lot of other boys, Arthur wanted to ride a warhorse and have a sword.

One morning, a messenger rode into the castle. He invited Sir Ector, Arthur and Kay's father, to take part in a great meeting of Britain's warlords. As soon as the messenger left, Sir Ector said to his sons, "Get ready, boys, you are coming with me." Arthur was very happy to hear that, but Kay, who thought that Arthur was only a child, was surprised. "But why, Father," he said, "he's just a boy, and this is man's work."

"He'll be a man very soon and needs to know what it means," answered Sir Ector. "To begin with, Arthur can be your squire, Kay." Squires were people who helped warriors and looked after their weapons. Arthur liked his father's idea and so did Kay. He wanted to have a squire and give him orders.

Very soon Sir Ector, Kay, young Arthur and a small group of warriors began their way to London, the place of the meeting. For them it was a long journey across the country.

2) It was the first time when Arthur was so far away from home. At first the brothers enjoyed their way and the new places they saw around. But soon they noticed a lot of sad things and the longer they looked, the less they liked what they saw. The warriors rode through burnt fields and houses, met hungry and scared people everywhere. It was like a bad dream. Arthur was upset by that and asked his father why things were so terrible everywhere.

Sir Ector said, "The Saxons came to this country and invaded it killing the people and taking the land. Sadly, the warlords didn't unite to fight the Saxons."

"Why don't they do it now?" asked Arthur. "They don't trust each other," answered his father. "And they don't have a strong leader like the great Uther Pendragon¹ who could keep them under his control."

"Where is Uther ['ju:0ǝ] Pendragon now? Did he die in battle?"

"No, Arthur," was Sir Ector's answer. "Somebody killed him and his family. We don't know who it was and I don't think we'll ever learn it." Sir Ector's face was dark and sad.

Arthur didn't say a word. He wanted to help, but what could he do? He was only a young boy in the world of men and war.

"Who has called the meeting of the warlords?" he asked at last.

"I have no idea," answered Sir Ector. "But I'm sure this may be our last chance to unite and defend our country if only the lords agree..."

Long, long ago a young boy, whose name was Arthur, lived in the west of Britain with his father, Sir Ector, and his elder brother, Kay. They lived in a beautiful castle. The family had good food to eat and fine clothes to wear, but Arthur knew that times were not easy for most people: the country was at war. Like a lot of other boys, Arthur wanted to ride a warhorse and have a sword.

Давным-давно мальчик по имени Артур жил на западе Британии со своим отцом сэром Эктором и старшим братом Кеем. Они жили в красивом замке. У семьи была хорошая еда и красивая одежда, но Артур знал, что времена для большинства людей были нелегкими: в стране шла война. Как и многие другие мальчики, Артур хотел ездить на боевом коне и иметь меч.

One morning, a messenger rode into the castle. He invited Sir Ector, Arthur and Kay's father, to take part in a great meeting of Britain's warlords. As soon as the messenger left, Sir Ector said to his sons, “Get ready, boys, you are coming with me.” Arthur was very happy to hear that, but Kay, who thought that Arthur was only a child, was surprised. “But why, Father,” he said, “he's just a boy, and this is man's work.”

Однажды утром в замок въехал гонец. Он пригласил сэра Эктора, отца Артура и Кея, принять участие в великой встрече британских военачальников. Как только гонец ушел, сэр Эктор сказал своим сыновьям: «Приготовьтесь, мальчики, вы поедете со мной». Артур был очень рад это услышать, но Кей, который думал, что Артур всего лишь ребенок, был удивлен. «Но ведь, отец, — сказал он, — он всего лишь мальчик, а это мужское дело».

“He'll be a man very soon and needs to know what it means,” answered Sir Ector. “To begin with, Arthur can be your squire, Kay.” Squires were people who helped warriors and looked after their weapons. Arthur liked his father's idea and so did Kay. He wanted to have a squire and give him orders.

«Он очень скоро станет мужчиной, и ему нужно знать, что это значит», — ответил сэр Эктор. — Для начала Артур может быть твоим оруженосцем, Кей. Оруженосцы были люди, которые помогали воинам и ухаживали за их оружием. Артуру понравилась идея отца, и Кею тоже. Он хотел иметь оруженосца и отдавать ему приказы.

Very soon Sir Ector, Kay, young Arthur and a small group of warriors began their way to London, the place of the meeting. For them it was a long journey across the country.

Очень скоро сэр Эктор, Кей, юный Артур и небольшая группа воинов начали свой путь в Лондон, место встречи. Для них это было долгое путешествие по стране.

C. Sad Picture - Грустная картина

It was the first time when Arthur was so far away from home. At first the brothers enjoyed their way and the new places they saw around. But soon they noticed a lot of sad things and the longer they looked, the less they liked what they saw. The warriors rode through burnt fields and houses, met hungry and scared people everywhere. It was like a bad dream. Arthur was upset by that and asked his father why things were so terrible everywhere.

Это был первый раз, когда Артур был так далеко от дома. Поначалу братья наслаждались своей дорогой и новыми местами, которые они видели. Но вскоре они заметили много печального и чем дольше они смотрели, тем меньше им нравилось то, что они видели. Воины видели проезжая сожженные поля и дома, повсюду встречали голодных и напуганных людей. Это было похоже на плохой сон. Артур был расстроен этим и спросил отца, почему везде все так ужасно.

Sir Ector said, “The Saxons came to this country and invaded it killing the people and taking the land. Sadly, the warlords didn't unite to fight the Saxons.”

Сэр Эктор сказал: «Саксы пришли в эту страну и вторглись в нее, убивая людей и захватывая землю. К сожалению, военачальники не объединились для борьбы с саксами».

“Why don't they do it now?” asked Arthur. “They don't trust each other,” answered his father. “And they don't have a strong leader like the great Uther Pendragon who could keep them under his control.”

«Почему они не сделают это сейчас?» — спросил Артур. «Они не доверяют друг другу», — ответил отец. «И у них нет сильного лидера, такого как великий Утер Пендрагон, который мог бы держать их под своим контролем».

“Where is Uther Pendragon now? Did he die in battle?”

«Где сейчас Утер Пендрагон? Он погиб в бою?»

“No, Arthur,” was Sir Ector's answer. “Somebody killed him and his family. We don't know who it was and I don't think we'll ever learn it.” Sir Ector's face was dark and sad.

«Нет, Артур», — был ответ сэра Эктора. «Кто-то убил его и его семью. Мы не знаем, кто это был, и не думаю, что мы когда-нибудь это узнаем». Лицо сэра Эктора было мрачным и печальным.

Arthur didn't say a word. He wanted to help, but what could he do? He was only a young boy in the world of men and war.

Артур не сказал ни слова. Он хотел помочь, но что он мог сделать? Он был всего лишь маленьким мальчиком в мире мужчин и войны.

“Who has called the meeting of the warlords?” he asked at last.

«Кто созвал собрание военачальников?» — спросил он наконец.

“I have no idea,” answered Sir Ector. “But I'm sure this may be our last chance to unite and defend our country if only the lords agree...”

«Понятия не имею», — ответил сэр Эктор. «Но я уверен, что это может быть наш последний шанс объединиться и защитить нашу страну, если только лорды согласятся...»
