ROBIN HOOD AND THE BLACK CLOAK
In the years of King Richard the Lionheart, there lived a brave and intelligent man
called Robin Hood. He was a feared outlaw, who loved liberty and hated
oppression. He took the law into his own hands and robbed the rich to give to the
poor. People loved him and thought of him as a justice-maker.
His companions lived in Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham. They were called the
merry men and used to wear green clothes, a particular shade of green, called
Lincoln green.
The story goes that one day the Sheriffs men caught Will Scarlet, one of Robin Hoods
outlaws, and took him to the Sheriff of Nottingham. Weve caught one of Robin
Hoods men, said one of them. The Sheriff, who was green with envy because all
the people loved Robin Hood, said Take him to the gallows in the market square
tomorrow! Let people see what happens to Robin Hoods companions!.
When Robin Hood heard the news , thought of a plan to rescue his friend, We must
save him before it is too late.
On their way to Nottingham they saw an old man in a dirty black cloak. Robin asked
him Any news from Nottingham? The news is sad, my Lord, the old man said.
They are going to hang two prisoners tomorrow, at twelve oclock.

ROBIN HOOD AND THE BLACK CLOAK
Wait! said Robin. Will you sell me your cloak? The old man couldnt believe his
ears. This dirty old thing? Well, you can have it for a pound! Thanks, said
Robin and put on the cloak and gave the old man pounds.
At twelve oclock the market square was full of people. Two men with ropes round
their hands stood under the gallows. Their faces were white with fear. The
Sheriff was there with twelve men. Only the hangman! he shouted. Well?
Doesnt anybody here want to do the job? For five pounds?- For ten pounds?
Nobody answered. Then an old man in a black cloak came forward and said. I
can do the job all right. At once there were angry shouts from the crowd.
Hurry up, man! shouted the Sheriff. What are you doing? the old man
untightened the ropes round the two prisoners hands. Then he threw off his
black cloak and he turned out to be Robin Hood, dressed in his green clothes
with his bow in his hand.
