Wizards
Don't Need Computers
Eddie, Melody, Liza, and Howie (the Bailey School kids) must do a report on England
so they go to the Bailey City library. Eddie complains until he sees the huge fish tank
behind the librarians counter. Little fish swim around a castle with one huge
goldfish named Arthur. Howie is perplexed because he was just at the library yesterday and
there was no fish tank. How could Mr. Merle, the new assistant, have put it up so quickly?
The kids cant check the card catalog because its being changed over to the
computer. Mr. Merle helps them find good books. He gives Howie one called Arthur and
Camelot. Eddie finds a book named Soccer. Eddie is delighted when Mr. Merle tells him that soccer is a very popular sport in England
and it would make an excellent topic for your report. The next morning Howie tells his
friends about Camelot, King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Liza looks
at his book. She sees a picture of Guinevier, the Queen of Camelot.
Liza gasps when she
sees a picture of Merlin The Wizard. It looks just like Mr. Merle! Could he really be the
famous wizard, Merlin???
