سر ریچارد به جنگل بازگشت

CHAPTER 13 - Sir Richard of Lee Comes Back to the Forest

The next day, Sir Richard arrived.

‘Robin, my good friend,’ he said, ‘I have your money, and I am also bringing one hundred arrows for you and your men. My wife and her friends made them.’

‘You are a good man,’ Robin answered. ‘We are very happy about the arrows, but I will not take your gold. The abbot took that money last year - and yesterday the church gave it back to me!’ He told Sir Richard about the two churchmen and the bags of gold under their clothes.

‘Now,’ said Robin, ‘I would like to give you and your lady something. I would like to give your wife this beautiful white horse.

And for you, I have some fine clothes!’

The two churchmen arrived at the abbey later the next day and also told their story. The abbot was very angry.

‘Robin Hood is laughing now,’ he said, ‘but one day, the sheriff or I will kill him for this.’
