Once upon a time, there was a horrible monster
called Grendel. He was half-man and half-monster. He lived in Denmark. One day
he went to the king´s castle. The king and his men tried to kill the monster
but their swords were useless. A knight called Beowulf heard about the problem
and went to Denmark to help the king.
That night, Beowulf and his men took off their
armour and put away their swords and went to sleep. The monster came into the
castle and killed a knight. Beowulf woke up and fought the monster – he pulled
off an arm! Grendel went back to his home in a lake and died. Grendel´s mother
was very angry and the next night she went to the castle and killed a knight.
In the morning, Beowulf went to the lake. He
killed Grendel´s mother with a special sword. When he came back, the king was
very happy and he gave Beowulf presents and money.
Beowulf went back to his country and became
king. He was a king for fifty years. But one day, a dragon came to his country,
and it attacked people. It lived in a cave with treasure. The dragon was very
big and breathed fire. The knights were afraid and they did not want to fight
the dragon. King Beowulf was an old man but he put on his armour again and went
to the dragon´s cave with his men…
