SIR GALAHAD Read the story, then close your book and write what you can remember about Sir Galahad. King Arthur and his knights were seated at the Round Table. All the chairs were filled save one. This chair was called the "Seat Perilous." No one dared sit in the "Seat Perilous." This chair was to be kept for the truest and best knight. Had any one attempted to sit in the "Seat Perilous" flames of fire would swallow him up. King Arthur arose and spoke to his knights. "My friends," he said, "long have we had an empty chair at our board." "To-night my heart tells me the 'Seat Perilous' will be filled." "He only who is worthy can sit thereon." While the king was speaking, an old man came in leading a young knight by the hand. His face was beautiful to look upon. The old man led the knight to the empty chair, and removing the covering bade the knight sit. On the back of the chair were these words: "This is the seat of Sir Galahad, the good Knight." |
