Chapter 2: Salesmen:
Chuck Cluck's Story:
So, Rob and Bow were disguised as salesmen to avoid offending anyone.
"We're selling watches," says Rob.
"I do love watches," says Mordred, "come in!"
. . .
Rob was showing Mordred the different watches while Bow was secretly stealing all the gold and jewels. Dave was suspicious.
"These are the most amazing watches I have ever seen," says Mordred.
"Sire, something's not right about this," says Dave.
"Shut up," says Mordred, "what else do you have?"
"Take a look at this pocket watch," says Rob, "this wristwatch, and even a pocket watch that goes on your wrist!"
"That doesn't even make sense," says Dave.
"I'll take them all," says Mordred, "how much?"
. . .
Rob and Bow then leave with Mordred's treasure and his clothes. "STOP THEM," shouts Mordred.
The guards try, but fail, as usual.
. . .
"We never speak of this again," says Mordred.
"Yes Sire," says Dave.
. . .
Meanwhile, T.W. Barker, former head of Handy Dandy Super Villain Appliance Distributors Limited Company, now High Sheriff of Mercia was taxing the people!
. . .
"Friar Buck," says the High Sheriff.
"The High Sheriff," says Friar Buck, "what brings you here?"
"I came to see the blacksmith," says the High Sheriff.
"Go easy on me, Sheriff," says the blacksmith, "with my broken leg and all!"
"Well, allow me to sign your cast," says the High Sheriff. He then finds a couple of gold coins hidden in it and takes them.
"Have you no heart, Sheriff," asks Friar Buck.
"Heart," asks the High Sheriff, sarcastically, "what's that?" He then laughs and walks away.
"I hope Rob o' the Hedge can stop him," says Friar Buck.
