Текст аудирования:
Many brave knights sat at the Round Table in King Arthur’s castle. They all had many adventures and took part in numerous battles of their King. They were all strong and courageous knights. But Sir Lancelot was really much better than all of them in the strength of his arms and his riding skills. He was the son of Arthur’s faithful friend, King Ban. Sir Lancelot had had many adventures before he arrived at Camelot, the place of King Arthur’s court.
The Lady of the Lake had stolen him from his mother, Queen Helen, when he was a baby and never returned him. He was brought up by the Lake Queen Vivian to become the greatest of all knights. Soon he became known as Lancelot of the Lake.
When he reached his eighteenth year, the Lady of the Lake sent him to the court of King Arthur. Ancient books tell us about his adventures. Among the other knights of the Round Table Sir Lancelot took part in the expedition in search of the Holy Grail. It is believed that it was the Cup out of which our Lord Jesus Christ drank at the Last Supper. One moonlit night Sir Lancelot was travelling alone and found himself approaching a large castle. He had no difficulty in entering it. So he walked right through the castle, until he reached a room where the doors opened slowly in front of him. At that moment he heard a mysterious voice warning him, “Lancelot, it is not you who will find the Holy Grail.”
On hearing that Lancelot fell on the floor. He lay there a long time as one dead. When at last he recovered, he understood that some other knight of the Round Table would be able to find the Holy Grail, so Sir Lancelot returned to Camelot.
