Kite was getting very curious about his new lodger and he thought as there was nothing on T.V. as ever he thought he would find out a little bit more about this old man and Kite went straight to the point .
“Well old man , I was wondering about these lives you have had and you have had a fair few reincarnations and you mentioned you were a Knight of the round table , and the name Percival ?”
No answer , I think he was not for talking , so Kite threw in some bait .
“That thing with the Holy Grail that’s all nonsense , I couldn’t understand why the King of Britain would be asked by the man upstairs to go and look for it “
Kite said while looking at the new Total Film magazine , and pretending to not be bothered and moving the copy up and to the side as it had a nice picture of Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill suit .
“Nonsense boy !”
Bingo ! Kite thought, hook line and sinker
I am having grilled Albert for tea .
“Well boy I can tell you that I have seen the Cup you talk of “ he said .
“And where would that be then ?”
“I was a Knight of the round table and I was known as the dragon slayer and protector of the people of England and Wales , and I went by the name of Sir Percival “
“Not Albert then ?”
“No , this was another life I lived and my parents give me my name , I have had many names “he said .
“I see”
“It was one night I was asked round for my tea with the Fisher King “ he said .
“What was for tea then , fish ?”
“Yes. How did you know that boy ?”
It was Just a guess , and stop calling me boy I am 45 years old!” Kite said and thinking this was turning into a very fishy tale .
Albert carried on about the Fish supper
“So as we sat down for tea and we were talking about how Moats must be the cause for the rising damp in castles when Albert noticed a large shiny cup on the mantle piece
He asked the Fisher King where he had got the cup that’s was so shiny , and it seemed to have a glow around it
The Fisher King said it was given to him a long time ago by a woman who said she was married to the King of Nazareth who had been crucified for doing magic tricks with two fish and some bread and could he look after it because she was going to Scotland because she wanted to go and see the Lochs up there
Because she had seen them on a postcard she got from a friend of her husband Judas Priest or something like that .
So I put it in the cupboard and thought nothing of it until one day he was very dry and all the cups were dirty because he had not washed up for weeks so he used the shiny cup and within minutes the leg he had lost in the crusades grew back !“
“Well fancy that “ said Kite .
“So after tea , the Fisher King got out his new fishing rods and we were about to do a bit of Angling off the Moat bridge when and all of a sudden there was a blinding flash and this white bearded man appears
And says he is God and he was taking the shiny cup and he was going to hide it and I had to tell Arthur, King of the Britain that he had to find it .”
“A bit like hide and seek “ Kite asked .
“I guess, or test his faith or something or the other and with that the Cup and the God fella was gone .”
“Jesus s missus is going to be upset when she gets back “ said the Fisher King
I left for Camelot to tell Arthur the story , and that’s how the search for the Holy shiny cup came to pass “said the old man .
So then did you go on the search for the Holy Grail then ?”
“No I did not , I had sea sickness and I had to stay and slay the dragons “ he said .
“Dragons ! There no such thing as Dragons !”
“Yes there is , what do you think those large bones that they find in mountains , they are dragons bones boy and that’s why they have a dragon on the Welsh flag because they find them all the time in the mountains of Snowdonia “
“I see , so you were a slayer of dragons then “Kite said , dreading what was coming next .
“Yes I was , and it was one particular night when Guinnevere showing me how to read and write Latin in her room “
“Oh yes while the Knights are away Percy did play “ said Kite
“Nothing like that boy , she was a lady “ he said .
“Sorry carry on “
“ I will, and the sky lit up with fire and smoke for coming towards the castle was a Beastie a mighty dragon , so I rushed to the stables to get Eric , my horse”
“Eric ?“
“Yes Eric and I got my mighty sword and rode towards the beast and when I got the sight of the beast , I turned round the horse and screamed for I had never seen a dragon so big , and we rode back to the castle , and being so dark and Eric had not had his carrots that day we went straight into the moat and the beast fell in after us and it drowned, and so I had kill the beast “
“And Eric ?”
“He was OK , he was a good swimmer “ said the dragon slayer.
“Thank goodness for that , so I bet you were a bit of a hero that night with guinn ?”
“I was yes and we got back to my lesson of Latin and it’s the only language I have ever learned “ he said .
“That was a interesting story , but why did the bones of dragons end up so high up in the mountains then Albert the brave ?”
They flew up there of course “ he said .
