LET'S GO!

The story of stonehenge

Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious places in Great Britain: a circle of huge stones planted in the ground. No one knows for sure who built it.Legends say that: • the wizard Merlin had it built as a magical monument, bringing the stones from Ireland with the help of giants.

Dick whittington and his cat

Dick was a poor orphan who left his village for London. His only friend was a cat, who helped him get rid of the rats. One day, the merchant shipped some goods on a ship, and Dick decided to send his cat along. When the ship arrived in a distant kingdom infested with rats, the cat solved the problem, and in return, the king gave the merchant enormous riches.

Lady godiva

Lady Godiva was married to Leofric, a powerful lord. When her husband imposed very high taxes on the citizens, she asked him to lower them. Leofric said he would do it only if she rode naked through the streets. Godiva covered only by her long hair, she rode through the town. Thanks to her courage, the taxes were reduced.

The legend of gelert

The Welsh prince Llewelyn had a faithful dog, Gelert. One day he came home and found his child’s cradle empty and Gelert covered in blood. Thinking the dog had killed the child, he struck Gelert with his sword. But immediately after, he discovered the child alive next to the body of a dead wolf, which Gelert had defended.

Robert the bruce and the spider

Robert the Bruce was losing the war against the English. He took refuge in a cave where he saw a spider trying several times to spin its web until it finally succeeded. From that scene, he drew courage and decided to keep fighting. Later, he led his men and defeated the English.

The giant's causeway

In Northern Ireland, there is the Giant’s Causeway, a natural road made of thousands of basalt columns. Legend has it that the giant Finn MacCool built it to fight a Scottish giant. But when he saw how enormous the giant was, his wife disguised him as a baby: the Scottish giant, frightened by the idea that the “father” of such a huge baby must be even bigger, fled, destroying part of the road.
