so Merlin, a magician, took Arthur away and gave him to a
friend to look after. The friend never told Arthur that his
father was the King of England.
When King Uther died, Merlin called all the Lords
together. He told them that the person who could pull the
magical sword. Excalibur, from the stone it was in, would be
the next king of England. The only man able to pull the
sword out was Arthur, so he became the new king.
Arthur was a good king. When he married Lady
Guinevere, her father gave him the famous Round Table as a
wedding gift. Arthur ruled England with the help of his brave
knights. One of them. Sir Lancelot, fell in love with Guinevere.
When Arthur found out about it he sentenced Guinevere to
death. Lancelot saved Guinevere and they ran away together.

Hi Thomas!
How are you. I hope your exams went well! Ive finished mine, thank goodness,
and now Im at the Notting Hill Carnival in london. Its really amazing!
There are so many colourful parades to see. the costumes, dancers and steel
bands are just fantastic and there are some great music performers and DJs. I
even took a Samba dance class today! The streets are crowded with people, so
the atmosphere is lively. They say about a million people come to the Carnival
each year!
Theres also delicious carnival food that you can buy from street vendors! Ive
already tried quite a bit of traditional West Indian food, like chicken, rice and peas
and corn soup. Tomorrow Im going to try sugar cane that you hold in your hand
and chew!
Visit me next summer and maybe we can go together! Write soon.
Love,
Emily

This week in our Culture Now page, we take a look at some of the noisiest and
most colourful festivals and traditions around the world. All of these festivals have a
common theme: fire!
In Britain, a man called Guy Fawkes and twelve other men planned to blow up the
English Parliament and King James I on 5th November, 1605. Every year on this
day, people organise firework displays and build huge bonfires to burn dummies of
Guy Fawkes. Children love to wave sparklers and sometimes people eat special
Bonfire Night food, such as warm soup, sausages or even baked potatoes cooked
around the base of the fire.
In the Shetland Islands, Scotland a similar festival called Up Helly Aa takes place.
Every year, on the last Tuesday in January, local people take part in parades and fire
festivals to remember the islands link to the Vikings. People dress up in Viking
costumes, drag a longboat through the streets and finally throw fire torches into it
and watch it burn.
Maybe you like to celebrate New Year with a bang? In some cities in Colombia,
people put little fireworks inside a doll with objects that bring unhappy memories. At
midnight on New Years Eve, they burn the doll to forget everything bad that
happened that year. In some villages in Scotland, people set barrels of tar on fire at
New Year and roll them through the streets. They do this to burn up the old year and
let the new year in.

The platypus has a flat body. It has a bill or beak like a ducks,
webbed feet with five claws for digging and a short, flat tail. The bill and feet
o f a platypus are black while the fur is usually a dark brown colour. The platypus
swims well but not very fast. Vt'hile swimming, it has its eyes and ears shut. It finds its way
with its bill, which also helps it to find food. While underwater it stores any food it finds in its
cheeks. The platypus is a poisonous mammal. Its poison can cause pain to man but it can kill
smaller animals. Its fur is one o f the most waterproof in the animal kingdom. It is now a
protected species.

Wonderdog Pulls Owner

from Car Crash
Endal the wonderdog, already named Dog of the Millennium and
Brightest Dog on Earth, made national news headlines again
yesterday after a car hit his owners wheelchair outside a hotel.
In 1991, Allen Parton was sitting outside the hotel when the
speeding car threw him from his chair and knocked him out.
While he was unconscious, Endal rolled him over with his teeth
into the recovery position. After this, he got a blanket from his
bag and covered him with it! The dog then got Allens
mobile phone out of his bag and held the phone up to
his face. Finally, he ran back to the hotel and barked
until people came out to help. Allen didnt know C_
that Endal could do any of these things!
Mr Parton was disabled from the tragic accident. For \

years now, Endal has been everything to him; his best \
friend, his banker, his travel agent, his home help and \
many other things. He even buys the ticket on the bus \
and collects it from the machine, says Allen. He has \
helped me in so many ways.

An Inventive 150 Years
Its not easy being an inventor. Even if you do come up with a brilliant
and original invention, you still have to make sure that no one else
steals your idea. That is why the Patent Office exists. These are some of
the inventions registered at the British Patent Office.
Hubert Cecil Booth, from London, invented a machine powered
90 by electricity which would suck up dirt. His invention was

granted a patent in 1901 as the worlds first vacuum cleaner.
In 1923, a watch repairer from the Isle of Man, John Harwood,
realised that winding watches often caused dirt to get into the
mechanism. He developed the self-winding wristwatch, which
had an internal mechanism and was much more accurate.
One invention which helped to make the world a smaller place
was the jet engine. This was invented by Sir Frank Whittle, from
Coventry. His invention made travel for business and pleasure
much faster and easier.
In 1995, Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut, from Edinburgh,
995 developed an invention which people have been arguing about

ever since. They invented a way to clone animals, and in 1997,
Ian Wilmut cloned Dolly the sheep.
It seems that Charles H. Duell, the US Commissioner of Patents,
was very wrong when he said, in 1899, Everything that can be
invented has been invented. Is there anything left to be
invented? We will have to wait and see.
