Seeing the future of planet earth really shook up Arthur. It was a most sobering site to see the planet he loves so much reduced to such a miserable state of ruin! He was still recovering from that when a new site materialized around them. They had arrived at a beautiful medieval setting with a grand looking castle in the distance. A long bridge spanned a crystal clear blue river where it joined the entrance to the distant castle. You could see trout jumping out of the water catching their supper. Some people were crossing the bridge. A group of four horsemen were approaching the bridge. Two elegant looking ladies were waiting on the near side of the bridge in anticipation of their arrival. "So, Michael. Where are we this time?" asked Arthur. "Is this Fantasy Land at Disneyland?" "I suspect you think the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is just a myth. Well, here we are in the reality of that story. Lets go over and greet the King. I'm sure he will enjoy meeting you!" The horsemen had stopped when they reached the two ladies. The King had dis- mounted and was about to go over to the ladies when Arthur and Michael intercepted him first. "Why Michael!" exclaimed the King. "So wonderful to see you! To what do we owe the priviledge of this visit?" "I have a new student from a very distant land. King Arthur, meet Arthur. I told him how you are transforming your kingdom with policies of respecting nature and humanity in general. He is very curious to see these transformations for himself. He has heard a lot about you and your kingdom in addition to everything I've told him about you. Might you be agreeable to visit with us and tell us how you are turning Camelot into a Garden of Eden?" "Well, I am afraid we are a long ways away from the Garden of Eden, but we are improving our surroundings. I am happy to share my beliefs and results with any receptive audience. For beginners, I insist we treat the earth and each other with respect! There have been so many kingdoms before us that have forgotten how to respect anything or anyone. We won't make that mistake as long as I'm the King! You can already see how well these practices are working. The country is coming back from many years of neglect and outright barbarism and giving us rich rewards for our efforts! I feel confident we are on the right path!" A highly animated visit ensued between the three of them. Every once in awhile, one of King Arthur's entourage would try to get King Arthur's attention but he was so enthusiastic about the subject of reclaiming his country he didn't notice them. They seemed to be surprised and a little annoyed at the sight of him being so animated by these two strangely dressed visitors! All too soon, Michael called an end to their visitation with the King! "King Arthur! It has been a great priviledge and honor to be allowed to visit with you but I see you need to carry on with your duties! I will show Arthur around your kingdom with your permission of course. Then we will depart. Thanks again for your kindness and information!" They waved their goodbyes to King Arthur and his subjects and began walking away. Once they got out of site over a knoll, Michael whisked them off once more to their next destination.
