Part 2 Reading for pleasure and reflection

Robin Hood and his merry men lived in Sherwood For­est near the town of Nottingham. They were good friends to all the poor people. They stopped rich men who were passing through Sherwood Forest and took their money. Then they gave that money to the poor. The poor people of England loved Robin Hood and his men.

The sheriff of Nottingham wanted to kill Robin Hood or take him prisoner. He sent his soldiers to Sherwood Forest many times but they could not catch Robin Hood. One day, when Robin Hood was walking through Sherwood Forest, he saw a man with a horse. The horse was carrying some big bags of meat. "Where are you going, friend?" asked Robin Hood. "To Nottingham.” answered the man. "I am a butcher. I am carrying this meat to 'sell at the market.” "Sell your meat to me.” said Robin Hood. The butcher agreed.

Robin Hood bought all the meat from the butcher. He also bought his horse and the butcher's apron and cap. The butcher went home, and Rob­in Hood put on the butcher's apron and cap and went to Nottingham to sell the meat. There were many people at the market. Robin Hood found a good place to stop and began to shout: "Very good meat! Come and buy! Very cheap meat!"

People were glad to buy cheap meat. Soon everybody came to buy meat from Robin; nobody wanted to buy meat from the other butchers. The other butchers were very angry. "Who is this man?" they asked each other. "Why is he selling his meat so cheap?" An old butcher said: "We must do something. If he comes to the market again, nobody will buy our meat. Let's invite him to come and have dinner with the sheriff and us in the sheriff's house. At dinner we'll ask him who he is. So all the butchers went up to Robin.

"Will you come and have dinner with the sheriff and us?" asked the old butcher. Robin agreed. "Thank you.” he said, "I am very hungry, I'll gladly have dinner with you.” Before dinner the butchers told the sheriff about the new butcher who sold his meat so cheap. Then all the time they were eating, the sheriff looked at the new butcher and thought. He was thinking of a plan.

"This man is a fool, he is very greedy. If he sells his meat cheap, he'll sell his cattle cheap. I must buy all his cattle. Then I'll sell the cattle to the other butchers and make a lot of money. After dinner the sheriff said to Robin Hood:

"Young man, have you any cattle to sell?"

"Yes, very much.

"I'll buy all your cattle. When can you show them to me?"

"I'll go home tomorrow morning.”

"Very good. I'll go with you and buy your cattle. But don't say anything to the other butchers!"

"All rights

The next morning the sheriff put his money into three bags and went with Rob­in Hood to see the cattle.

The morning was fine. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. The birds were singing in the trees. Soon the sheriff and Robin Hood were in Sherwood Forest. The sheriff said to Robin Hood:

"There is very bad man in this forest who is an outlaw and a robber. His name is Robin Hood. Do you think we'll see him?"

"Don't worry. I don't think we'll see him.

"That's good, because I'm afraid of him. He's a very wicked man.

Robin only laughed.

Soon Robin and the sheriff saw a great number of deer among the trees.

"Look!" cried Robin. Look! There they are! Do you like my cattle?" Now the sheriff understood that the young butcher was Robin Hood.

He was very much afraid. He said: "Young man, I think I'll go back to Nottingham.” "What! You don't want to buy my cattle? Why don't you? Aren't they good? You have enough money to buy them!"

"I tell you I want to go back to Nottingham. I have no money.”

Robin Hood blew his horn. Little John and the other merry men came very quickly. Robin Hood said: "Good morning, Little John. Is dinner ready? Have you prepared good wine and beer? Today the sheriff of Notting­ham will have dinner with us.

"Yes, take a seat and let's have a dinner.

"Now, sheriff, you must pay for your dinner.” Hood looked at him.

"But I am a poor man. I have no money.”

"No money! And what is there in your bags?"

"Oh, there are only stones there .”

"Little John", Hood called him, "bring the sheriff's bags.”

"Sheriff, you are a wicked man. I'll take this money and give it to poor people. Now you may go back to Notting­ham. Little John, give the sheriff his horse.

Robin Hood's men brought the sheriff's horse, and Rob­in showed him the way out of Sherwood Forest. When they came to the end of the forest, he said:

"Remember me to the butchers.” Robin laugh and rode back into the forest.

John: My opinion is that my wife has wonderful taste. We’ll take this suit together with the tie and then continue shopping. I want you to buy a new costume.

Jessika. I love you, darling. It’s a brilliant idea!
