People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends (传说), Robin was very smart and humorous. He loved laughing and playing tricks on others. Robin had a good heart.
At the beginning, Robin was just a young man. One day he was walking through Sherwood Forest, a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became a legendary outlaw (草寇), and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his "Merry Men".
They always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor".
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin's greatest enemy. It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer. He hated Robin because everyone else loved him. He kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his "Merry Men", but never succeeded.
Centuries ago people loved to tell stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in the village, though
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow
My little horse must think it queer (奇怪的)
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there are some mistakes
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake (碎片)
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep
