A girl and her mom are eating lunch at home. The girl says, “Mom, I’m learning about legends at school. What’s your favorite legend?” “My favorite legend? Robin Hood!” says Mom. “Really? Who’s Robin Hood?” asks the girl. “Robin Hood is famous!” “Is he from America?” “No, he’s not! He’s from England, but he’s famous around the world. Many boys and girls love Robin Hood.” “Tell me the legend, Mom!” “OK! The year is 1175… I think...” “You think?” “Robin Hood is a legend. There are many questions about his life. But… do you know about the king of England in 1175?” “No…” “Eat your lunch and I can tell you.”
King Richard is the king of England. He is a good king and he says, “England needs help! I need to go and defend my country.” King Richard has a younger brother, John. King Richard says, “John, be England’s new king for now. But I’m coming home one day, and then I can be king again.” King John is a very bad king. He says, “I want everybody’s money!” King John talks to the Sheriff, “Help me. Get everybody’s money.” The Sheriff is a very bad man and he is happy to help a bad king. People are poor and sad. They need food. Families can’t feed their children! 5
Sherwood Forest is a big forest in the center of England. Some poor people say, “There are many animals in Sherwood Forest. Let’s hunt them and eat them!" But King John says, “You may not hunt my animals! This is my forest!” Robin Hood is a little boy, and his father goes to Sherwood Forest and hunts a deer for dinner. The Sheriff sees him and says, “You may not be here! Now, King John can take all your money and your house!” Then, the Sheriff’s men kill Robin Hood’s father! Robin Hood, his mother, his brothers, and his sisters are very sad – and very poor. 6
Twenty years go by. Robin Hood is now a man, and he is living in Sherwood Forest. King John says that he can’t live there – it’s the King’s forest – but Robin Hood can run fast, he has a bow and arrow, and he is very smart. Robin Hood has friends in the forest, the Merry Men. “We live in a dangerous place,” he tells them. “King John can kill us here, but we can help the poor people of England. Poor people need our help. We can take money from rich people and give it to them. King John is a bad king and people need food.”
