The Noble Viking

Once upon a time there was a family who lived in Norway, which was the country where the Vikings lived. Everybody there loved this family because they helped all people who were in danger. Sven was the dad, Steena the mum and Erik was their son. Sven was the chieftain of the Vikings, Steena helped in the house with the animals, she prepared food and she made cheese. Erik didn’t go to school because he learned from his parents and by listening to other people.
One day the English invade the territory. The Vikings were winning the war and they were confident because they thought that the war was won. That was incorrect. The following day the English did all they could and they won. The worst news for Erik wasn’t that they had lost the war; the worst news was that English had killed his mother and his father. He was very sad and he cried a lot. He couldn’t understand when the English had killed his mother and his father, because he was with his mother all the time while his father was at war. He thought that they had killed her when they were sleeping, because she was the wife of the chieftain of the Vikings so she was very important.
Erik went to live with his uncle that was a farmer who had a lot of money. He had the biggest house in all Norway. Five days later, in his uncle’s house, he planned how to take revenge of the English. He started to work a lot and a lot. The new chieftain of the Vikings gave him a job making armors to fight because he was the son of the old chieftain of the Vikings. All the Vikings said that he had a great future. One day another group of Vikings invaded Norway and the chieftain of the Vikings of Norway asked him if he wanted to fight. Erik accepted enthusiastically. He put on the armors that he made and went to fight; he had a lot of partners defending him. They won the war and all of people said that Erik was young but very strong. When he grew up he wanted to be the chieftain of the Vikings and to declare war to the English and kill all of them because they had killed his family and other people. Two months later in a war the opponents hurt him and he had to stay at home in bed, in his free time he read books about Vikings and he learned a lot. When he went back to the Thing* he started to recover. One night the Vikings were sleeping, when they woke up they found the chieftain dead. Erik was sad and happy at the same time. Sad because his chieftain was dead and happy because he made his dream come true; he was the new king of the Vikings. He took revenge of the English and he killed a lot of people, just like the English had done with the people in Norway. Erik formed his own family and he had three sons. He lived very happily with his three sons and his wife.
