A long time ago, Robin Hood lived near Nottingham in England. He lived in Sherwood Forest with his friends.

Little John: The Sheriff of Nottingham is a bad sheriff. He’s cruel.

Robin: Let’s help the people of Nottingham.

The people worked hard but they were very poor. The Sheriff of Nottingham was very rich.

Sheriff: Pay your taxes.

Poor man: Please don’t take my money.

Robin Hood and his friends waited for the Sheriff in the forest.

Robin: Stop! Give me the money.

Sheriff: Oh, no! It’s Robin Hood.

Robin wanted the money for the poor people and they loved him.

Robin: Here’s your money.

Poor man: Thank you, kind Robin.

The Sheriff was angry. He wanted to catch Robin.

Sheriff: Robin loves archery. I can catch him at the contest.

Robin: I can win the gold for the people, Friar Tuck.

Robin arrived at the contest with Little John. He looked like an old man.

Robin: Now the Sheriff can’t recognise me.

Little John: There’s Sir Guy, the Sheriff’s friend. He’s good at archery.

The contest started at 4 o'clock. There were 40 archers.

Sheriff's man: Ready, steady, shoot!

Little John: Good luck, Robin.

Only two arrows were on target.

Sheriff's man: This is the old man’s arrow.

Sheriff's man: This is Sir Guy’s arrow.

There were two men left in the contest.

Sheriff's man: Ready, steady, shoot!

Little John: Good luck, Robin.

Only one arrow was on target. The contest finished and Robin was the winner.

Sheriff's man: It’s the old man’s arrow. Here’s the bag of gold.

Sheriff: Only one man can do that. Robin Hood! Catch him!

Robin Hood’s friends helped him escape.

Robin's friends: Come on Robin. Quick! Let’s go to the forest.

Sheriff: Stop!

Robin and his friends escaped with the gold.

Robin: Now we can eat and be merry.

Robin's friends: And the poor people can eat too.
