At the end of the day, the Glenbrook students and Mr. Pryce-Jones all try to remove the sword from the stone, but they all fail. Just when it is Arthur's turn, he hears the barker's reference to "a gentle hand" and suddenly realizes the secret of the sword. Just as his friends come over to get him to leave, Arthur pulls the sword out with ease. Arthur becomes the King of the Fair and everyone cheers.
