At the end of each match, Steven goes to the fans to thank them.

  A long time ago, so the story goes, a young boy called Arthur became the
 King of England after he pulled  a  sword  out of a stone .

The sword was Excalibur. It had a lot of power. The Lady of the Lake
gave it to King Uther but asked him to give her his first born child.
Uther became powerful. When his first child was born, Merlin the
magician came to take the baby. Uther tried to stop him but
thieves attacked him. Before he died, he put Excalibur into a
stone and asked Merlin to make his son a king. Merlin promised
that only someone with a pure heart could pull it out and become
the next King of England.
When Arthur pulled the sword out people were surprised.
Merlin explained that Arthur was Uther’s son and the people
 were happy.
 Arthur was a good king. He built a big castle, Camelot, and
ruled over England with his knights. He called them the
Knights of the Round Table. Together they made England a
strong country.

 he morning of 26th December was warm and sunny on Phi Phi Don
T Island in Thailand. The sunshine was a welcome change from the
wet, rainy weather in London. After breakfast we went to the beach. My
parents decided to sunbathe and I ran straight into the crystal clear water.
Nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen. 5
Suddenly, I heard a loud roar. The water under my feet disappeared. I
heard people screaming and pointing at the sea. “What’s going on?” I
wondered as I turned to see a massive wave coming towards me. “Mark,
run!” I heard my mum shout before the huge wave swallowed me. I was
under the water. I tried to breathe and reach the surface but the force of the 10
water just pushed me down. Then, out of nowhere a hand grabbed me and
pulled me up. I gasped for air and looked around. I was in a palm tree with
a Thai man. I could see people in the distance running in panic.
I felt like crying but I was too shocked to even do that. The
only thing I could do was to sit and watch, unable to move. The 15
hours passed slowly. Suddenly, the Thai man started shouting
and pointing to a helicopter. The pilot saw us and came to rescue
us. Half an hour later we were safe in the hills. There
were a lot of people there. I felt lonely and lost.
“Mark, you’re safe,” I heard my mum’s voice
say. I don’t remember feeling more relieved in
my life than at that moment.
Two days later we left the island. We felt
lucky to be alive but we were sorry for the
locals that lost their homes. It was a
terrible experience.
