ROBIN HOOD.
    The sheriff was more frightened and wanted to go back, but  Robin  Hood
invited him to dine with Merry Men. That was just  what  Robin  Hood  always
did. He gave those men, who  took  money  from  poor  people,  a  very  fine
dinner, and than he made them pay  very  much  money  for  it.  The  sheriff
understood that he was in  the hands of Robin Hood. After dinner Robin  Hood
asked the sheriff to pay for the dinner.
    “I am poor men,” said the sheriff, “I have no money.”
    “No money! What have you in your bags, then?” asked Robin.
    “Only stones, nothing but stones,” answered the frightened sheriff.
    Robin’s men opened the bags and put the three hundred pounds of gold on
the ground. “Sheriff,” said Robin, ”I shall take all this money and give  it
to the poor. You have taken much more than that.” Then Robin  told  his  men
to bring the sheriff’s horse. The sheriff got on his horse,  and  Robin  led
him through the forest. Than he said good-bye to the sheriff and  went  away
laughing. So the sheriff paid three hundred pounds  in  gold  for  a  dinner
with Robin Hood.
