Let's Go On An Adventure


Arthur pulled the Sword from the Stone, the sun blazing down on his golden hair in the moment of his glory. The clearing waited with bated breath as their king held it high, looking as regal as he should be.

There was a long chorus of "Long live the king!" However, that faded into silence. For many moments, the people watched in awe until finally, one person asked the burning question.

"What is the sword's name?"

Arthur looked at the majestic blade. Then, smiling proudly, he answered, "Zappy!"

He didn't know why Merlin was annoyed with him later.


Credit to my brother for the new name for Excalibur. I make fun of Merlin for naming things, but this is so much worse.
