He is a good and powerful king who can do anything. My friend says that she saw him climb the castle as fast as a spider! ‘And my dad told me that he can swim to the bottom of the sea to talk to jellyfish. This morning, the king was sitting at the breakfast table, looking at the fish on his gold plate. ‘Oh dear,” he said, ‘I just want fruit for breakfast today!” ‘Oh no!’ I thought. ‘I’m so sorry, your majesty,” | said. I immediately picked up the fish and someone. . brought a bowl of fruit that was as big as the table! ‘Twill do whatever you want. You are our good and powerful king,’ I said. ‘Thank you,’ the king said, but he looked annoyed. ‘People always say, things like that to me, but I don’t like it?” After breakfast, the king went to his bedroom to get dressed. I took his silk shirt, suit and best leather shoes from the wardrobe. His cloak and crown were on his bed. ‘Oh dear, said King Canute ina lond, angry voice. ‘I just wanted to wear comfortable trousers, a shirt and boots.’ I rushed in with the clothes the king wanted. ‘I'm so sorry, your majesty. You are our good and powerful king. Again, the king looked annoyed. ‘People always say things like that to me!” he complained. ‘Why does everyone always, always say “yes” t0 me?’ ‘Because youre the king, your majesty,’ I replied. I helped. him with the buttons on his cotton shirt and I didn’t say anything else. a Suddenly the king said, ‘I want to go to the beach and I want everyone to come with me. Bring my throne? Soon everyone was at the beach. ‘So ... Tama powerful king. Everyone has to obey me,’ said the PAR king. ‘Does the sea have to obey me” he asked. ‘Of course,’ we all replied. Then King Canute sat down on his throne at the edge of the water. He shouted to the sea, ‘Iam your powerful king! You have to obey me. Don't get me wet!” I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I was excited to watch the sea stop completely. But then, something strange happened. The sea didn’t listen and the tide came in. First, the water covered his boots. Then his trousers and his shirt! The other servants and [ stood. there with our mouths open. When the sea was as high as his shoulders, King Canute stood up and we all ran to help him. When we were all back at the beach, the king turned to us and said, “You see, am very wet. I am your king but I don’t have superpowers. I can’t control the sea. The sea doesn't obey me. So, stop always saying “yes” to me. It’s very boring!” In pairs, talk about the questions. 1 Do you think King Canute is a good person or a bad person? 2 What doesn’t the king like about his servants? 3.

In pairs, talk about the questions. 1 Which materials is your shirt made of? 2 Howdo you think we will use smart textiles in the future? 12 | Clothes throughout history, Clothes in the past In the past people used natural materials to make their clothes like animal fur and skin. They also used leaves and plants. In the Middle Ages, most people wore warm woollen clothes which came from sheep, Shoes were very simple and they were made of leather. Only very rich people could wear silk and colourful clothes, as dyed fabrics were expensive. What we wear today Today, we still use many natural materials for our clothes like cotton, wool, silk and leather. We also use manmade textiles, like acrylic, polyester and nylon. People like them because they are cheaper than natural textiles. They have different qualities too ~ swimwear is made of manmade materials because they dry faster. Our clothes often have both natural and manmade materials. Check the label on your T-shirt! Fleece is a very special, manmade fabric. It's made from recycled plastic bottles. You need 25 plastic bottles to make 4 fleece sweater or a blanket! Fleece fabric keeps us warm, it's ‘waterproof and it helps us to look after the planet. What will we wear in the future? In the future, we could all be wearing smart textiles. These clathes have little sensors hidden inside and they catch energy from our body. They can change colour, light up and even grow. Smart textiles are important for sport. For example, a T-shirt could help keep a football player cool during a match. Smart textiles can also be fun.
