The Saga of Erik the Viking
This is the tale of a Viking warrior who lived hundreds and hundreds
of years ago. His name was Erik. His ship was called the Golden
Dragon, and its figurehead was a fierce monster carved out of wood
and covered with gold leaf.
One day Erik said to his wife: ‘I must find the land where the sun
goes at night.’ But his wife replied: ‘No one has ever been to that far
country. And of those who have tried few have ever returned.’
‘You are right,’ said Erik, ‘but, until I have sought that distant land, I
shall never sleep in my bed again.’
So, he called his son who was fifteen years old and told him he
must guard their home day and night. Then he took his sword, which
was called Blueblade, stepped on board the Golden Dragon and
sailed off towards the setting sun.
That night they
sailed on far from
land, and Erik stood
at the helm of Golden
Dragon gazing into
the
darkness. Erik’s men
whispered to each other
that they were seeking
the land where the sun
goes at night, and that
no one had ever found
it and lived to tell the
tale.
Just then a bright green light appeared above them, and a star
shaped like a dragon leapt across the sky. Erik turned to his men and
said: ‘We shall find what we seek.’ And no one dared say a word after
that.
The next morning, they found themselves alone on the ocean with
great waves heaving the ship up and down. Erik looked up into the sky
and smelt the wind.
‘We shan’t make it!’ whispered Erik’s men, one to the other, as the
storm clouds blotted out the sun.
‘We’ll be wrecked at sea,’ they murmured as the first drops of rain fell
on the deck. ‘There’s land!’ called out Erik. ‘Take down the sails…
we’ll have to row for it.’
They leant on their oars as the rain began to pour down on them.
And the speck of land on the horizon got bigger as the skies got
darker and the sea grew rougher.
‘Rocks to port!’ cried the look-out, and the helmsman steered Golden
Dragon round to starboard. ‘Rocks to starboard!’ cried the look-out, and
Golden Dragon swung back to port again. ‘Look out ahead!’ cried Erik,
and the golden monster on the helm scraped against the rocks as the sea
dragged them down and then threw them up again.
‘We’ve had it now!’ cried Erik’s men one to the other and they shut their eyes.

Tuesday activity 2
Use the Viking Saga you read yesterday to help you answer the
questions
1 Which word is not a synonym of ‘fierce’?
savage brutal furious untamed
2 Who does Erik ask to guard his home while he is away?
3 What was the name of Erik’s sword?

5 ‘hundreds and hundreds of years ago.’
How does the repetition of ‘hundreds’ support the idea that the story
happened a long time ago?

and covered with gold leaf’. What kind of monster do you think the
figurehead was? Use the name of the ship as a clue.

How does the word ‘whispered’ support the idea that the men do not
want Erik to know they are afraid?
8 Why does the speck of land grow bigger?
9 Do you think the ship will be shipwrecked on the rocks? Give evidence
from the extract to support your answer.
