                                 ROBIN HOOD
    The sheriff of Nottingham hated Robin Hood even more. He was happy when
he could catch one of Robin's men and put him into prison. But he could  not
cat Rlobin. Robin Hood went to Nottingham  very  often  but  he  was  always
dressed in different clothes and the sheriff could  not  recognize  him.  So
Robin was never caught. One day he was walking through the forest and met  a
butcher. This butcher was  riding  to  the  market  at  Nottingham.  He  was
dressed in a blue coat. On each side of his grey horse hung  a  basket  full
meat. Robin came out from behind the trees and stopped him.
    "What have you, my good friend?" he asked.  "Meat," answered  the  man.
"Fine meat for Nottingham Market. Do you want to buy some?"
    "Yes, I do," said Robin. "I'll buy it all from  you,  and  your  horse,
too. How much
do you want? I want to be a butcher and go to Nottingham Market." So the
butcher sold his horse and all the meat to

Robin. Then Robin changed clothes with him. He put  on  the  butcher’s  blue
clothes and the butcher went away in Robin’s green suit.
