“Wake up, everybody,” Robin shouted. “It is time for us to find another rich guest to pay for our feast.” Little John woke up slowly.
“You go west, and I go east. We try to find the richest man and bring him here!”
Robin walked for miles and saw many people, but none of them were rich. But when he was eating, he saw a knight.
Robin said hello to him. The knight stopped, but said nothing. His face was full of sadness. “You need a good feast to cheer you up!” said Robin. “I have no reason to be happy,” said the knight. “My name is Robin Hood. Who are you?” For a moment, the knight’s eyes grew wide. He knew all about Robin Hood’s feasts. “I am Sir Richard Lea,” he said, “but I have no money to give you for your feast.” Robin said, “You are a knight, and knights are rich men.”
Sir Richard
sighed, “My son killed another knight by accident and I had to pay a huge fine. To get the money, I had to borrow from the Priory of Emmet. Now I must return that money to the Priory or I will lose my land and my castle.” Robin felt sorry for the knight. “Come with me. Perhaps I can help you,” he said. Sir Richard agreed and followed Robin back to Sherwood Forest.
When they arrived at the camp, Robin told him to enjoy himself. Then Robin asked Little John, “Did you find a rich guest?” Little John laughed, “Yes, I did.” He brought forward his guest and Robin recognized(认出) him at once. It was the Bishop of Hereford! Robin said, “We meet again. Welcome to our feast.” The bishop was furious(愤怒的), but he didn’t say anything. He was too afraid of Robin.
Just then Robin saw there was a box tightly held in his hands.
Robin knocked the box down with his sword. The box hit the ground and thousands of gold coins fell out of it. Sir Richard came forward and Robin pointed to him, “Do you know this man?” Robin asked the bishop. “Yes,” replied the bishop. “Does he owe you money?”“He owes money to the Priory of Emmet and I am the bishop for the Priory.”
Robin said, “Many people say you are the richest bishop in England.” Robin started to count the coins and said, “I think you have plenty of money and you want to help Sir Richard.” When there were five hundred gold coins in Robin’s hands, he gave them to Sir Richard. “Take this,” he said, “and pay your debt.”
Soon, Sir Richard left with the five hundred gold coins. He thanked Robin Hood and said, “One day, I hope I can repay your great favour.”
After that, Robin freed the bishop. The bishop left the camp quietly without all his money but when he was far away and no one could hear him, he said, “One day, I am going to make Robin Hood very, very sorry for stealing all my money. Wait and see.”
