ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIVES

ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIVES

................................................
Long ago, in England in Sherwood Forest lived Robin Hood. Because of his past experience with a few noblemen, he decided to steal from the rich and give to the poor. The Sheriff of Nottingham placed many rewards for the capture of Robin Hood but nobody ever caught him. Robin Hood had a number of men who served him; Robin Hood was their leader. The rich were scared of going through Sherwood Forest because they knew Robin Hood would attack. The Sheriff of Nottingham asked for help from the king to catch Robin Hood. ................................................
Finally, the Sheriff thought of a plan. “Let us have a competition to choose the best shooter in Nottingham. Robin Hood cannot resist such a competition. He will surely come and when he does, my guards will capture him,” he told his noblemen. All of them agreed. So, the next day, the Sheriff organized everything for the competition. The Sheriff turned to one of the guards and asked “Has Robin come?” “No, Your Highness, Robin has red hair. None of the contestants have red hair.” The Sheriff said, “He must be scared.”
................................................
The competition began. A man in green appeared and made the best shots. The man in green was none other than Robin Hood, but he was wearing a black wig. Realizing that he was Robin Hood, the Sheriff shouted “Get him, you fools. That is Robin Hood,” but it was too late. Robin Hood escaped again!
