Robin Hood — Робин Гуд
This school-year at our English out side reading lessons we had read many interesting stories about Robin Hood. The most interesting story is a story about Golden Arrow. In the 11th century England was conquered by the Normans who had come from the North of France. They began to take away lands and homes from the Saxons, the native popullation of the British Islands. The Saxons suffered very much from the Normans and hated their new masters. Many of them had to run away into the forests and become outlaws. There are many legends and songs about one of them — Robin Hood.
Robin Hood with his 300 men, so the legends say, lived in the Sherwood Forest, not far from the town of Nottingham. He often attacked the rich Normans, but he was a friend of the poor and helped them as much, as he could. The Sheriff of Nottingham wanted to catch Robin Hood. He journeyed to London to ask Prince John for help. Prince John said him that it was his work and he must did it quickly. The Sheriff
Some days later the Sheriff was seated at his dinner table and boasting that Robin was afraid to show his face in Nottingham. Suddenly, throught the window, flew an arrow. It came to the rest in the big fat goose. It had a message. The Sheriff read the message and understood that once again Robin Hood outwitted him.
