Robin Hood
was fifteen years old. He had much courage and was very bold. One day there was
a shooting-match that was to be held by the king. Robin Hood wanted in and
showed up with his bow. He was met with scrutiny about his abilities for
someone so young. Robin Hood assured them that he would be able to do what he
said he could do. He told them that he would hold them at twenty marks that he
would hit a mark a hundred rod away. Robin Hood then bent up his noble bow and
let the arrow fly. He did in fact hit his mark and the mark was dy. The hard skipped
and ran and leaped then fell dead on the ground. The wager was not upheld by
the other party so Robin Hood shot all the foresters around. When it got to the
last one he mocked him saying that he thought he was no archer. He let an arrow
fly splitting the guy’s head. He also mocked him saying that he would regret
ever saying that for it will make their wives for to wring and that it was all
because they said he couldn’t pull a string. The people of Nottingham came
running and tried to take Robin Hood. They lost legs and arms and overall much blood.
Robin Hood departed taking with him his mighty blow as the foresters were taken
away and buried.
