The magnificent Callanish Standing Stones on the Island of Lewis are a national landmark of Scotland and are famous worldwide. The thirteen stones are about four metres high and they form a circle. They are 5,000 years old and it’s still a mystery why they were built. People believe that the site was an observatory and the stones formed a calendar system based on the position of the moon.

Locals believe that the Callanish Standing Stones were giants that once lived on the island, and they were turned into stones because of something evil that they had done.

1 4 The Legend of King Arthur

Mikey: ‘I crown you Arthur, King of Britain. Long live the king!’

Kristie: What are you doing, Mikey? Mikey: I’m learning my lines. We’re putting on

‘The Legend of King Arthur’ at school and I’m going to be Merlin the magician. King Arthur is my favourite hero of all time!

The Legend of King ArthurIt was a cold night in Britain in the 5th century. King Uther had just found out that there might be a plot to kill his son Arthur. He asked his magician Merlin for help. Merlin hid the boy to protect him from his father’s enemies. After King Uther’s death, there was a lot of fighting between people who wanted to become king. Arthur did not know he was King Uther’s son because he had grown up living with Sir Kay and his father Sir Ector. One day the family left for London where Sir Kay was going to take part in a fighting competition. On their way into town, they walked by a churchyard where Arthur noticed a sword that was stuck in a stone. On the stone there was a message. It said: ‘The person who pulls this sword out of the stone is the true king of Britain.’ Many brave knights had tried to pull the sword out before. When it was his turn, 15-year-old Arthur pulled the sword from the stone without much effort. Everyone was amazed that he had succeeded. Merlin explained that Arthur was really King Uther’s son and crowned him king. Arthur became a wise and good king.

Reading1 Listen and read the

article. Why did the ancient Polynesians make the Moai statues?

The Moai statues of Easter Island, a Polynesian island in the Pacific Ocean, are one of the great enigmas in archaeology. These 887 human statues were made between the years 1250 and 1500. The tallest statue is ten metres high and weighs 82 tons. (1)

Most people get the impression that the statues are giant stone heads. In fact, they have bodies as well, though they are very small compared to the size of their faces. (2) They have got arms and hands with fingers, but they haven’t got legs.

(3) They were good at building canoes and probably went there by canoe. Then they returned to the island to form a colony. It is believed that they made the statues to honour the heroes, ancestors and leaders of their time.

(4) The islanders transported the statues they had made and put them on special platforms around the island. Statues had travelled 20–30 kilometres to get to the place where they were set up. But how were they able to move their giant statues across miles of very rough land? (5) Archaeologists have done a lot of experiments but they have only managed to move the smaller statues for a few metres with the help of a lot of people. There are legends about the statues, but only science can explain the mystery.

Reading1 Listen and read about King

Midas. What is the best title for the story?

a King Midas’ Daughter b The Stranger c The Golden Touch

Once upon a time, there lived a rich king whose name was Midas. Midas loved two things in life – gold and his daughter, Marigold. One day, a stranger appeared before him. ‘You have more gold than anybody else in the world,’ he said. ‘Yes, I have,’ answered Midas, ‘but not as much as I want. I would like everything that I touch to turn to gold.’ ‘The Golden Touch?’ said the stranger. ‘Are you sure this will make you happy?’ ‘Of course I am,’ said Midas. ‘Tomorrow at sunrise you will get the Golden Touch,’ the stranger said.

In the morning, when the king woke up, his bed had turned to gold. Midas was extremely happy. He ran about the room touching everything. In the garden he found beautiful roses. He went from bush to bush touching each one until every flower had become gold.

Finally, he went back to the palace to have breakfast, but what a shock he got! When his lips touched the food, it became gold. He found his mouth full of hot metal and shouted with pain. ‘What’s wrong?’ cried Marigold and threw her arms around him. But as soon as he kissed her, she became a golden statue.

Suddenly, he saw the stranger standing near the door. ‘Well, the Golden Touch was supposed to make you happy. Are you happy?’ asked the stranger. ‘I thought I was going to be happy, but I’m not. I am the saddest man in the world,’ said Midas, ‘I have lost all that my heart really cared for.’ In the end, King Midas gave up the Golden Touch and became a wiser and happier man.
