 119  Who are they? The Stout brothers, Will, Lester and John. Their father is dead. If they are hung, their mother will be alone. They had no food, Robin. They had to kill the deer. Do we know the family? The Sheriff’s men killed their father last year. They are very poor, Robin. Then we must help them. Maid Marian, send some food to the mother at once. Alan Adale, you were in Nottingham today. Did you hear anything? When were you there? I heard that the Sheriff wants to hang some men in the market place. (Thinking.) Aha! We haven’t got a plan. SCENE 4 Sherwood Forest. A pupil lifts up a card: Sherwood Forest. The next morning Robin was on his way to Nottingham where the Sheriff wanted to hang the three brothers. And there on the road he met a poor beggar. Good morning, beggar. Where are you going? To Nottingham, sir. But I’m only a poor beggar. I have no money and no jewels. Look, sir. Only empty pockets. Nothing in them. May I go past, please? I like your clothes, beggar. My clothes? But they’re so old worn. Who needs them? I need them. 
Oh, sir. If you take my clothes from me, then I’ll have nothing in this world. (Begins to groan.)   (Smiles)1’m going to give you good money for them. Four gold coins.  Four gold coins for these?.. I know who you are. You’re Robin Hood (Laughs jumps up and down.) Here, Robin. My shoes. Everything.  Wait. I don’t need everything. Pooh! And your shoes are smelly. But here you are. Four gold coins. And you can have these. (Gives him new clothes.)  119 |
