The Story of Robin Hood
The Sheriff of Nottingham is a tax collector.
He lives in a big castle in the middle of England. He is very rich and very
bad. Every day he goes out collecting taxes from all the people. He collects
house tax if you have a house. He collects horse tax if you have a horse. He collects
children tax and even dog tax! He takes money from everybody! The people are
very poor. They are very unhappy. There is only one person who can rescue them
— Robin Hood. Robin Hood steals the tax money from the Sheriff and returns it to
the poor. The people are happy again. But Robin Hood is not happy. He is in
love with a beautiful girl called Lady Marion. But she lives in Nottingham
Castle and the Sheriff is also in love with her. The Sheriff doesn’t like Robin
Hood. He wants Robin Hood to stop taking his money. He wants Robin Hood to stop
visiting Lady Marion. The Sheriff has an idea. He organizes an archery
competition so that he can catch Robin Hood and put him in prison. But Robin Hood
is very clever. He goes to the competition but escapes with all the Sheriff’s
money! The Sheriff is very, very angry. He has another idea. He takes Lady
Marion and puts her in prison. Now Robin Hood cannot visit her. But Robin Hood
is a hero. He is not afraid of the Sheriff. He goes to Nottingham Castle with
his sword and fights the evil Sheriff. He rescues Lady Marion, marries her and they
all live happily ever after.
