Okay, here we are! Another one!
*************************************************************
Life had always been hard. But it had been bearable.
Working with his father, looking after his brother and helping his mother.
Then the new Sheriff came, and life changed.
His mother died; after starving herself so her children didn't. His father lost a hand; after taking the punishment for his children's poaching.
Then he and his brother had been sentenced to hang for stealing some flour!
However, they had been rescued by the man now called Robin Hood.
Life was suddenly bearable once more.
