Before you knew me you were rude to me Before I knew you I was willing to save you Pirate oh pirate you said After I knew you I still saved you After you knew me as Robin I still helped you The robin you knew was always the robin that would help you
Robin hood and his friends are sitting around on a hot summer day in sherwood forest.
a thought comes to robin hood’s mind to ride off to take an adventure.
He rides off into the forest and as time passes by he comes upon a sea side in a near town named scarborough, where there is a peaceful environment so he decides to visit there.
as he gets off of his horse he is greeted by local citizens who are happy to welcome robin and some are giving him a strange look.
locals dont recongnize him and asks him his name. robin responds with his alias name rick smart.
After roaming around a mile robin needs a place to stay. He finds a widowed woman that has room and a fishing boat for him to pass his time.
robin had never gone fishing so he was excited to get on the water. the guys robin went fishing with were not friendly and did not speak to him.
during the fishing journey some of the citizens did not share any of their supplies with robin.
the next day instead of fishing nets robin brought his special bow and arrow. the townsmen teased him about his last name being “smart� and that he was not smart for forgetting his supplies for yesterday’s trip and not smart for brining a bow and arrow today for the fishing trip.
As the day goes on they are on the water and one of the men sees a pirates on a ship close by. the townsmen get scared and hides under at the bottom of the boat, while robin fights and captures them with his bow and arrow.
after the pirates are captured they surrender and robin takes the gold and jewels from the pirates. he then lets the pirates go peacefully and him townsmen board their boat.
when returning back to shore robin payed the widow woman for letting him stay with her and gave the rest of gold and jewles to the poor because it was too much for him to carry while traveliing back home. Robin even shared with the townsmen who made teased him during his stay as well. robin gets on his horse and rushes off into the forest he was so eager to get back to tell his family and friends about his great adventure. Riding through the forest rapidly he thought about how much he fun he had and thought bringing his friends with him on his next adventure.
