King Hothgar built a great and splendid hall to feast in.  He invited the Goths, including Beowulf.  The Goths sailed across the sea for quite some time before arriving.  When they reached, they were greeted and the king set out while the Goths guard the hall.  One day, a Grendel broke into the hall.  He seized some men and ate them so Beowulf grabbed the Grendel and they fought.  The Grendel was killed and the king rejoiced.
