On the way out of the cavern, he accidentally clanged the bell. This time, several

knights woke up and asked, “Is it today?”

Struggling under his burden and filled with panic, the farmer forgot what the

wizard had said. “Umm... I don’t think so!” he cried.

The knights were soon upon him. “Who are you?” they asked. “Why are you

stealing King Arthur’s treasure?” They were so angry, they started to beat

the farmer, who dropped every coin and ran for his life.

The farmer was so scared, he didn’t dare enter

the cave ever again. In time, he couldn’t even

find the entrance. He lived the rest of his life

a poor man, but a wise one too –

he had learnt that nothing

good comes from greed.

Craig Y Ddinas, also known as Dinas Rock, is

in Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. It

is thought to be the place where King Arthur
lies with his sleeping knights. Perhaps you

could visit and try to find his treasure!
