But listen. One of the servants in the Sheriff’s castle heard the story.

And he rode quickly to Sherwood Forest.

He rode through the tall dark trees until one of Robin Hood’s outlaws stopped him.

SCENE 2 Sherwood Forest.

A pupil stands up with a card: Sherwood Forest.

Where are you going?

I must find Robin Hood. It’s important. The Sheriff is going to hang three men tomorrow.

Come with me.

Maid Marian put a bag over the servant’s head and together they rode through the forest.

Until they came to Robin’s camp.

SCENE 3 Robin Hood's camp.

A pupil stands up with a card: Robin Hood’s camp.

(arrives with servant). Robin, Robin! Where is Robin Hood? Look who I’ve found. One of the Sheriff’s men!

And you’ve brought him here? Are you crazy? Will Scarlet, go and see if there are more of the Sheriff’s men in the forest.

I’m alone. And I must talk to Robin Hood. It’s important.

I’m Robin Hood. Now tell me who are you and why you’ve come here.

I’m one of the Sheriff’s servants, but I’m a Saxon, too. Today the Sheriff’s men caught three brothers. They killed a deer in the forest and now the Sheriff wants to hang them.
