In all the land, no one was better with a bow and arrow than Robin Hood. He
lived with his Merry Men in Sherwood
Forest. That was the forest where the
King kept his royal deer.
A few years before, King Richard
ruled the land. King Richard was kind
and let people who were poor come
into Sherwood Forest. They could hunt
the deer to get food for their families.
But then King Richard and his army
left England. His younger brother John
became a new King. Bad King John did
not want anyone to come into Sherwood
Forest to hunt the royal deer. From then
on, anyone who hunted in Sherwood
Forest could be put in prison!
Robin Hood did not like that. He moved
into Sherwood Forest. He wore green
clothes from his cap to his boots, the
colour of the trees of Sherwood Forest.
Nobody could see him as he hunted the
King's deer. Sometimes other brave men
came into Sherwood Forest. One by one
they joined Robin Hood, and became his ti
Merry Men. Перевод на русскому
