The sheriff of Nottingham hated Robin Hood even more. He was happy
when he could catch one of Robin's men and put him into prison. But he could
not cat Robin. Robin Hood went to Nottingham very often but he was always
dressed in different clothes and the sheriff could not recognize him. So Robin
was never caught. One day he was walking through the forest and met a butcher.
This butcher was riding to the market at Nottingham. He was dressed in a blue
coat. On each side of his grey horse hung a basket full meat. Robin came out
from behind the trees and stopped him.
"What have you, my good friend?" he asked. "Meat,"
answered the man. "Fine meat for Nottingham Market. Do you want to buy
some?"
"Yes, I do," said Robin. "I'll buy it all from you,
and your horse, too. How much do you want? I want to be a butcher and go to
Nottingham Market." So the butcher sold his horse and all the meat to
Robin. Then Robin changed clothes with him. He put on the
butcher’s blue clothes and the butcher went away in Robin’s green suit.
