The
Last Adventure
Chapter: 16
After his visit to Sherwood
Forest, King Richard went back to London. Robin and his men left the forest.
Will Scarlet went to London with the king, but Little John stayed with Robin
and Marian at Locksley House.
One day, two years later, Robin
visited his old friend, Friar Tuck. They talked for a long time about their
adventures. ‘I eat too well now, Robin,’ said the friar. ‘I am too fat and I
cannot fight. People say that King Richard is ill. I hope that he will live for
a long time. I hope that John will never be king. I wouldn't like to sleep on a
hard bed in the forest again!’ On the way home, Robin walked slowly and thought
about Friar Tuck's words. Then he heard the noise of horses' feet on the road,
and looked up. It was the sheriff and his men. ‘Robin Fitzooth,’ called the sheriff,
‘I have here a letter from the king. It says that you will come with me!’
‘From King Richard?’ asked Robin.
‘Why does the king send you? He knows that we are not friends!’ The sheriff
came nearer, but not too near. He was very afraid of Robin. ‘Not King Richard,’
he answered. ‘Richard is dead! I am talking about King John. Take him, men!’ Robin
pulled out his sword and began to fight. At the same time he moved slowly away
from the road to the forest. There were too many men, he couldn't win. He had
cuts on his right arm, and the arm hurt very badly. When he got to the forest,
he ran. He could find his way through very well, and the sheriff's men lost
him. Robin went through the forest to St Mary's Abbey. In front of the abbey,
he fell to the ground. There, the abbot's men found him. ‘It is Robin Hood!’
said the abbot. ‘I would like to kill him, but this is a church. Take him to one
of the bedrooms. You, man, go to the sheriff. Tell him that Robin Hood is at
the abbey.’
Robin woke up. There was nobody
in the room. He was very weak and couldn't move from the bed. Then he heard a
friend. ‘I am coming, Robin!’ called Little John. ‘Where are you ?’ ‘Here! I am
here!’ said Robin weakly. Little John broke open the door. Robin spoke very
slowly. ‘Little John, help me one last time. Carry me to the window. Good. Now
give me your bow.’ Little John helped Robin to put an arrow in the bow. They
pulled. The arrow flew a long way, into the forest. ‘Take me to that place and
put me in the ground there,’ said Robin. There is a place in the forest near
the abbey. There you can find these words:
Under this stone
is Robin
Hood. Remember
Robin and
his men — No
braver man will
come again.
