Robin Hood Legend
We can't
always think of ourselves, sometimes we have to help those who do not have the
same means as us. Let me tell you a story of kindness.
This is the
story from a long, long time ago in Nottingham England. When King Richard ruled
the country, his younger brother Prince John was a corrupt Prince who cared for
the State while the King was absent due to wars. Prince John was unkind to the
common people of Nottingham and had no consideration for the poor under his charge;
the rich became richer while the poor became poorer.
The poor had
no savior to save them other than Robin Hood or the hooded thief as he
was properly known. Robin Hood had a trusted friend called Little John Robin
Hood who would rob wealthy merchants and Prince's companies who carried heavy
taxes collected from the poor as they crossed the Sherwood Forest which was
Robin Hood's home. On the way to the Prince's treasury and he would distribute
the loot amongst the poor.
His
generosity earned him the name 'Prince of Thieves' amongst the common
people. There have many rewards that were announced by the Sheriff for his
capture. But this did not stop Robin from doing his good deeds. One day, when
Robin Hood and his friends had robbed the Prince's caravan, again the Prince called
the Sheriff of Nottingham to the palace and told him this is the last time
Robin Hood has humiliated Sheriff! What are your troops doing? Why haven't they
caught that thief yet? We do everything, Sir I assure you, we will be with him
soon. You should! Otherwise, someone else will be punished.
The Sheriff
made a new plan with his men; he decided to announce an archery competition to
be held in Nottingham. The winner would be announced as the best archer in
Nottingham, and also win a kiss from the Maiden Marian. One day Robin Hood’s
friend Tuck came to visit him and ask him, have you heard of the archery
competition that the Sheriff has announced for tomorrow? Robin replied yes, we
have Friar. Then the men replied that I think Robin shouldn't go to it, it is a
trap laid by the Sheriff.
All of
England knows that Robin Hood is the best archer by far, Robin doesn't need to
go and prove anything there. Robin said that you are worrying too much little
John, lighten up, we will go and have some fun tomorrow. To ensure that no one
recognizes us, we'll wear disguises. And so the next day Robin Hood and his
friends wore disguises and went to the competition. Just as Robin Hood had
predicted that no one would know him, it soon became Robin Hood's turn to shoot
arrows. He took the first shot at the board and hit the bull's eye! The crowd
cheered for this unknown archer then he took another arrow and shot it again
this one too hit the bull's eye! The crowd cheered louder.
The cheering
caught the Sheriff's attention. And he turned to see what the matter there was.
By now Robin had drawn his third arrow and taken a shot. It too hit the Bull's
eye, when the fourth arrow also did the same. Sheriff realized something that
is no stranger! That is Robin Hood. No one can shoot four arrows in a row like
that! Sheriff ordered grabs him, men!
The whole
crowd broke into frenzy as the Sheriff's men arrested Robin Hood and tell them
off with his head! But Little John moved like a lightning flash and grabbed the
Prince and put a knife to his throat. And told to Sheriff that release to Robin
Hood immediately, the Sheriff's men had no choice except to let go of Robin
Hood. The prince of Thieves and his friends shouted and came out of the
shooting range. Robin Hood climbed the audience tower and stole a kiss from the
Maiden Marian.
They back at
the Sherwood Forest Robin Hood and his friends got together and celebrated.
His friends said to Robin that you were right; Robin Hood today was a lot of
fun. The Sheriff had this coming.
I am sure
you surprised Maiden Marian, too! Well, not as surprised as the Prince is going
to be when he finds out that we stole 4 bags of gold from his treasury during
the Sheriff's archery competition!
