Robin Hood and The Sheriff.
The sheriff was more frightened and wanted
to go back, but Robin Hood invited him to dine with Merry Men. That was just
what Robin Hood always did. He gave those men, who took money from poor people,
a very fine dinner, and than he made them pay very much money for it. The
sheriff understood that he was in the
hands of Robin Hood. After dinner Robin Hood asked the sheriff to pay for the
dinner.
“I am poor men,” said the sheriff, “I have no money.”
“No money! What have you in your bags, then?” asked
Robin.
“Only stones, nothing but stones,” answered the
frightened sheriff.
Robin’s men opened the bags and put the three hundred
pounds of gold on the ground. “Sheriff,” said Robin, ”I shall take all this
money and give it to the poor. You have taken much more than that.” Then Robin
told his men to bring the sheriff’s horse. The sheriff got on his horse, and
Robin led him through the forest. Than he said good-bye to the sheriff and went
away laughing. So the sheriff paid three hundred pounds in gold for a dinner with
Robin Hood.
