There's something sweet and almost kind

But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined

But now he's dear and so unsure

I wonder why I didn't see it there before

Come along, dearie

Let's get you out of those wet things

She glanced this way, I thought I saw

And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw

No it can't be, I'll just ignore

But then she never looked at me that way before

Belle, I have something to show you

But first, you have to close your eyes, it's a surprise!

May I open them?

Alright, alright, now!

Oh, I can't believe it!

I've never seen so many books in my whole life!

You like it?

It's wonderful

It's yours

New and a bit alarming

Who'd have ever thought that this could be?

True that he's no Prince Charming

But there's something in him that I simply didn't see

Oh, this is one of my favorites!

It's "King Arthur"

Have you ever read it?

No

Well, you don't know what you're missing

I would love to read this again

Wait, you can read it first

No, that's alright

No, really, you read it

Oh, no, you

No, you

No, I can't

You never learned to read?

Only a little, and long ago

Well, it just so happens

That this is the perfect book to read aloud

Come here, sit by me

Well, who'd have thought?

Well, bless my soul

Well, who'd have known?

Well, who indeed?

And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

It's so peculiar, wait and see

A few days more

There may be something there that wasn't there before

Perhaps there's something there

That wasn't there before

What?

There may be something there that wasn't there before

What's there, mama?

Ssh, I'll tell you when you're older

Come along now, let's give them some privacy

Mama?

Yes, Chip

Will I ever get to be a boy again?

I hope so

When will I know?

Soon, if it's to be, it will be very soon now

Come along, son

Knowing now, that this was indeed the legendary sword called

"Excalibur," Arthur tried to pull it from the stone

He tried once to no avail, he tried a second time, but still

He could not pull it out

Then, for the third time, Arthur

Drew forth the sword

So that must mean he's the king!

Wait and see

I never knew books could do that

Do what?

Take me away from this place, make

Me forget for a little while

Forget?

Who I... What I am

We have something in common, you know

What is that?

In the town where I come from, the people think I'm odd

You?

So, I know how it feels to be... different

And I know how lonely that can be

For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword, and there

Arose from the people a great shout, Arthur is king

I told you so
