Robin Hood was a legendary hero who was loved by the poor people of England. He and his Merry Men lived in Sherwood Forest. When the poor were oppressed by the rich, he gave them food and shelter. The Sheriff of Nottingham, who was as sly as a fox, tried to arrest Robin but never succeeded in doing it.  

  At last the Sheriff  decided to arrange an archery contest. The prize was a golden arrow.  He knew that Robin Hood was a famous archer and hoped to catch him.  The risk was great but it was decided that Robin and his men would take part in the contest.  

   The town was decorated with flags and the field was full of people. The Sheriff knew that Robin Hood and his men were always dressed in green, so he looked everywhere for them but couldn’t find anybody dressed in that colour.  

   The contest was won by a fellow dressed in red, who had come from a village with a whole company of young men. He received the beautiful golden arrow and left the town. Nobody ever thought that it was Robin Hood.  As he was leaving the town, Robin shot an arrow through the Sheriff’s open window. There was a paper attached to it with the following words: “Robin Hood thanks the Sheriff for the Golden Arrow.”
