The story of Robin Hood and his merry men has been very enjoyable for me. Today I will be walking you through the first half of the story.
The story begins as Robin being an outcast with his merry men. It has been a while since Robin went out looking for adventure. While on this expedition he encounters Little John. Robin Hood asks Little John to join his band and Little John becomes an important part of the story. At this point Robin Hood has broken quite a number of laws like shooting the Kings deer, stealing gold from the government officials, and stealing away some of his men. The King decides to tell his Sheriff to kill Robin. The Sheriff, after some thought, decides to catch Robin Hood at a shooting match to which the prize is a golden arrow. Robin goes to this match in disguise and wins the arrow right under the Sheriff’s nose. As Robin and his men are leaving the match, Little John gets captured. The band tries to rescue him the same day but end up failing. The next day they hear that Little John is set to be hanged and rush to the rescue. They finally successfully rescue Little John. After the rescue Little John is given an offer to join the Sheriff’s men in disguise to get revenge. Little John accepts the offer and joins. Little John after a while gets restless, and decides he should leave. In the process of leaving, he gets the king’s cook to join Robin Hood and his band. Robin is very happy when Little John returns with the cook, and they have a feast on the king’s dishes. A few days later Robin Hood sees a shortage of new Lincoln green clothes (which are the uniform for Robin and his men) and sends Little John to buy them. Along the way to the shop, Little John stops at a hotel and indulges in the money that Robin gave him there. Robin finds out and is vexed. He finds Little John, but on the way home, they find two more men to join (one of whom being his nephew) Robin’s band. Robin is not angry any more and forgives Little John.
I have very much enjoyed this story so far, and I hope you will get a chance to read it.
