A large stone appeared in the middle of Harrods in London last week, causing quite a stir. Projecting from top of the stone was a large sword named "Excalibur" bearing an inscription saying that only the true King of England would be able to pull the sword from the stone. King Charles was alerted to the situation, but just laughed as wars are no longer fought with swords, and besides, his position as king is largely ceremonial with very little power. Prime Minister Keir Starmer rushed to the famous London store to prove he was the true leader of England but was sadly unable to budge the very stuck sword. A boy named Arthur then emerged from a crowd of teenagers hoping to get the sword so he could protect himself from recent invaders. He jumped up on the stone and pulled the sword out, raising it high above his head in triumph. At that very moment Merlin the magician appeared revealing to the watching crowd and press that Arthur was in fact the king of legends past who had traveled through time to save Jolly Old England from certain doom. At press time, King Arthur had been arrested for possession of a knife preventing him from saving England.
But that's not all that happened last week!
