罗宾汉 第三课 chapter 2_Part 1

Robin's grandfather died, then his mother and father. After twenty-five years,Robin was lord of Gamwell and Locksley,and lived in his father's home, Locksley House.

The village people liked Robin Fitzooth.

‘He is a good man, they said. ‘No man, woman or child is hungry on Robin of Locksley's lands.'

Not all lords were so kind. The worst person was the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham.The sheriff took everything from the villagers, and often these poor people were very hungry.Robin listened carefully to the stories about the sheriff. He sent food and clothes to the poorest families.

At about this time, people began to tell stories about a robber. They called him Robin Hood.

‘The sheriff is a hard man,’ they said. ‘He and his rich friends take everything from us. But now brave Robin Hood and his men rob rich people and give their money to poor villagers!”

In those days, the Great North Road went through Sherwood Forest.Robin Hood's men often stopped rich men in the forest, and took their money. Sometimes Prince John's men also used
the road.So Robin Hood robbed him too.

‘The forest is on your land,‘ said Prince John to the sheriff. ‘Why don't you catch and kill this robber?'

‘It is not so easy,’ answered the sheriff. ‘The village people don't want to tell me much.They say only that the robbers live in or near Sherwood Forest. But they know more than they say. I have a plan to learn more about this man Robin Hood.’
