The Sword in the Stone Page #5

And the Wart's just as hot

for it as the rest of them.

He certainly is. That boy's

got real spark. Lots of spirit.

Throws himself heart and soul

into everything he does.

That's really worth something if it can

only be turned in the right direction.

Ha-ha.

Fat chance of that.

Oh, I plan to cheat,

of course.

Use magic. Every last trick

in the trade if I have to.

I'd give anything to go riding

about on a great white charger...

slaying dragons and griffins

and man-eating giants.

Well, won't you?

Oh. No. You see.

I'm an orphan, and a knight

must be of proper birth.

I only hope I'm worthy

to be Kay's squire.

That's a big job too,

you know.

Oh, indeed, yes, yes.

I would say almost impossible. Yes.

Well, now then. When I said

that I could swim like a fish...

I really meant as a fish.

You mean you can turn

yourself into a fish?

After all, I happen

to be a wizard.

- Could you turn me into a fish?

- Well, do you have any imagination?

Can you imagine yourself

as a fish?

Oh, that's easy.

I've done that lots of times.

Oh. Well, good. Then I think

that my magic can do the rest.

Archimedes, what, what

is that fish formula?

- Who? Who? What? What? What?

- You know, that, that,

that Latin business.

Hmm? Fish? Latin?

Oh, uh.

Aquarius aquaticus aqualitus.

And-And now if you don't mind...

I say good day to the both

of you, if you please.

When he stays out all night...

he's always grumpy

the next morning.

- Then he must stay out every night.

- Yes.

Oh. Oh, yes. Oh, I say,

that's very good, boy. Very.

Who? What? What?

All right, boy. All set.

Here we go.

Aquarius aquaticus

aqualitus quum.

Aqua digi tarium.

Merlin, am I a fish?

Am I a fish?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

you are a fish...

but if you don't stop that

flippity-flopping around...

and get in the water,

you won't last long.

Now, now, stay right here in the tules

and I'll... I'll be with you in a minute.

Oh.

So you thought you could take

right off like a shot, did you?

Well, I am a fish,

aren't I?

You merely look

like a fish.

That doesn't mean that you can swim like

one. You, you don't have the instinct.

So, you'll have to use your,

your brain for a change.

You are living between

two planes now.

Somewhere between the ceiling

and the floor.

Now, there, there's lots

of ups and downs...

like-like, uh,

like a helicopter.

- Helicopter?

- Yes...

Oh. No, never mind.

Every flick of a fin

creates movement.

So, first we'll start

with a caudal fin.

No, no, boy.

Your tail. Tail.

Now, now, that gives you

the forward thrust now.

Come on. Let's get a rhythm.

Right, left.

Right, left. One, two.

Left and right

Like day and night
