THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD
Robin Hood became very old. His hair was white, but he was strong, and brave as an old lion.
Little John and he loved each other more. They were always together.
At last Robin felt weak and ill. He said to Little John, ‘I am not able to shoot any more; my arrows will not fly. I do not know what the matter with me is. Let us go to my cousin the Prioress of Kirkley Abbey. Perhaps she can cure me.’
In those days there were no doctors. When people were ill they go to clever women like the Prioress of Kirkley Abbey.
They made a cut in the person’s arm and let the blood flow out. After a few minutes it was bound up to stop the blood flowing. This was called ‘bleeding.’
Sometimes people got well after this. Sometimes they
died.
Little John and Robin went to Kirkley Abbey, It was a difficult journey. It was a few days before Christmas. The snow was thick. On the journey Robin became very ill. He could not sit on his horse. Little John carried him in his arms through the deep snow.
rhey arrived at Kirkley Abbey on Christmas Eve. The Prioress said she was very happy to see them. ‘But, good cousin Robin, what is the matter with you? You look so pale and thin.’
‘He is very ill,’ replied Little John. ‘I took him here to cure him.’
Then the Prioress looked at Robin carefully. ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘he is very ill. I must bleed him.’
