<u>Part I</u>
Something was happening. Artos could feel it. Their little farm was
quiet as usual, but yesterday he saw a lot of carts on the road. They
went past Artos's house all day and all night. "Where are the people
going?" he asked. "People are going to the mountains — to safety," his
father said. He looked worried. Artos began to feel afraid.
What's the matter, Father?"
Artos, you are only seven, but we must talk. Do you remember our great King Arthur?"
"Of course, I know all about him. Every boy in the tribe does. Arthur
was a great king and Merlin, the greatest wizard of all time, helped
him. He had thirteen knights - his friends. When they had meetings,
Arthur never sat on his throne. He had a special Round Table for the
meetings to show that he and all his knights were equal. And..."
"Don't forget the most important thing, Artos. King Arthur beat our
enemies, the pagan Angles and Saxons, and gave us fifty years of peace."
"Yes, Father. I know that. I hate the Angles and the Saxons. They first
came to Britain in the fifth century after the Romans left."
"Yes, son, it was a hundred and fifty years ago. The Angles and the
Saxons landed on the east coast, near London, and moved west. They are
slowly taking all of Britain. They even call our land Anglia — the land
of the Angles. It is so unfair."
The father sighed. "Now be brave, son. A Saxon king is coming here with a
great army. They will burn our beautiful farm and all the farms of the
tribe. We must leave our land forever."
Artos began to cry.
Artos, do you remember the motto of our tribe?" "Yes, Father."
"Put your hand on mine and say it."
"Fight for the ring. Fight with the ring. Fight in the ring." And what does it mean, Artos?"
"It means our tribe must stay together and help our friends. We are the
People of the Ring. Together we are free and strong like Arthur's
Knights of the Round Table." Artos said.
"Tomorrow we will have a special ring meeting. There we will make the decision. I think we should move to the North."
Suddenly Artos was angry. "Why do these Angles and Saxons want our land,
Father? They have nearly all our land. WE always have to move. Why?"
"Because," said his father, "behind them in Europe are other tribes. They attack the Saxons, and then the Saxons attack us."
That night Artos couldn't sleep. He was sitting next to the fire and
thinking about the horrible news. But the boy wasn't looking at the
fire, he was playing with his father's ring. It was the main treasure of
their tribe. Artos put the ring on his finger and... fell asleep.
He had a very strange dream. In the morning Artos went to the priest.
The boy told the priest about his dream. "What should I do?" he asked.
"The ring has spoken (Кольцо заговорило)" the priest answered. "Do what
you have to do. Don't be afraid."</span>

Мне нравятся смешные монстры. Моя любимая игрушка это Джут. У Джут две большие головы. Длинные волосы. Три глаза. Её глаза зеленые. Есть нос. Нос игрушки большой. Зубы Джут длинные. Глаза игрушки тоже длинные. У Джут три ноги и восемь пальцев на ногах. У неё три руки. Я думаю, Джут великолепна.
