ROBIN HOOD AND THE BUTCHER
The Sheriff of Nottingham hated Robin and wanted to kill him.
The Sheriff was a very unkind man. He treated the poor Saxons very badly. He often took away all their money and their houses. Sometimes he cut off their ears or fingers. The poor people went into the wood, and Robin gave them food and money. Sometimes they went home again, but very often they stayed with him, and became his men.
The Sheriff knew this, so he hated Robin more.
But he could not catch Robin. Robin used to go to Nottingham very often. But the Sheriff never knew him. So he always escaped.
The Sheriff was much afraid to go into the forest to take him. Robin’s men fought for him because they loved him. The Sheriffs men only served him because they were afraid of him.
