ROBIN O' THE HOOD

A/N: I don't own what you recognize and do what you don't. You follow me?

It was a beautiful day in Sherwood Forest. Two boys, an old one and a young one were playing "archer" out in the deer-fields. The older one, Christopher Fitzooth, was 17. The younger one, Robin Fitzooth, was about 11.
"Come on in boys," yelled their mother, Eleanor, "The stew is ready and your father will be home any minute. Besides, those are King Henry VII's deer and I'm afraid you might accidentally kill one."
The two boys tramped inside to wash their hands. Their mother saw the sticks Robin had been carving. "Why my goodness Robin, what in the name of the Crusades are you doing with those twigs? Are they for the fire? Surely you know that firewood can be any shape?" asked she. "Yes please tell us," asked his father with a large white blotch on his head. "Is it snowing father?" asked Robin hopefully. "No. It was the goose bombs," said his father with a slight blush *snicker*.
"But tell us, what are the twigs for?" "These are arrows, mummy," answered Robin holding one up in the air. "See, I made 4 score and 7 extras!" (Pathetic I know) "Why, those are peacock feathers on the ends! The peacocks around here belong to the king! Did you kill the king's peacocks?" "No," answered Robin truthfully, "I only plucked feathers off of sleeping peacocks. Will you please test the arrows pa?"
"Sure thing my son, so soon as my stomach owns this pie; let's eat!"

After supper was over Pa, AKA Lord Locksley tested the arrows. Of all 87 only 25 reached the target. "WHAT THE #^((*# #&(( $#!+ @$$ DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING? THESE ARROWS ARE- "Pretty" said Eleanor " by the way I've got us 3 tickets to the Nottingham Fair! I realize that you can't come Hugh but Chris could come." "No I can't" Chris spoke for the first time that evening "you know that my wedding is in 6 months. I have to go start the preparations." "Oh, that's right, Tina Abraham; the lucky bride" squeaked Eleanor in delight.
"Well any who you can't go without an escort. You'll go with the old clerk of York. What's his name/ Rabbi Tucker? Friar Tuck, that's right. you'll do with him," said Hugh.

The friar gladly came and they set of through the dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, dark dark, darkness of Sherwood. It was not long until Will O' the Green and his band of outlaws interfered. "You gotta pay a tool if your gonna pass through this joint!" roared Will. "But all we have is our horses."
"That's not enough"
"Then we'll kill you!"
"I have a better solution." They all looked at the clerk like he was kookie to reason with an outlaw. But alas, he was a man of God so they let him speak.
"I propose an archery contest between Robin and Master Will. If Robin wins then we go in and out of Sherwood as we please. If Will wins than Robin and I will join his outlaw band.
Well I bet you've guessed what happens. Robin looses and they are forced to be employed. But Will lets Robin's conditions be fulfilled as well and they continue on to Nottingham.
