From Inside the Book — The Miracle of the Sword
KING ARTHUR
A sword stands in an anvil on a stone, and no knight in Britain can draw it. A squire goes to fetch a blade for his brother — and pulls it out as easily as a knife from butter. Twice more he does it, before witnesses, and the world changes.
