The Legend of Beowulf: Once upon a time, there was a horrible monster called Grendel. He was half-man 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 the 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 gave Beowulf presents and money. Beowulf went back to his country and became king. He was 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…
