  • Hello, I'm Tim.

  • Today's story is a famous legend about a so-called outlaw who likes to stand up for poor people.

  • He lives deep in Sherwood Forest in England with his band of merry men.

  • Any ideas who this working-class hero might be?

  • Yes, that's right, it's Robin Hood.

  • Robin has a habit of stealing from the rich to give to the poor,

  • but the sheriff who takes money from the poor to fund his lavish lifestyle, can't stand him.

  • He thinks of him as a robber and wants to have him arrested on his wedding day of all days,

  • just as he is about to marry the beautiful maid Marian.

  • A fight breaks out, but the sheriff's men don't stand a chance against the fit and strong Robin.

  • He manages to escape and goes into hiding in the vast and dense Sherwood Forest.

  • The hunt is then on to find him.
