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.
