Ballads about Robin Hood
Chapter I
Robin Hood and his merry men lived in Sherwood Forest near the town of Nottingham. They were good friends to all the poor people. They stopped rich men who were passing through Sherwood Forest and took their money. Then they gave that money to the poor. The poor people of England loved Robin Hood and his men.
The sheriff of Nottingham wanted to kill Robin Hood or take him prisoner. He sent his soldiers to Sherwood Forest many times but they could not catch Robin Hood. One day, when Robin Hood was walking through Sherwood Forest, he saw a man with a horse. The horse was carrying some big bags of meat. “Where are you going, friend? ” asked Robin Hood. “To Nottingham.” answered the man. “I am a butcher. I am carrying this meat to ’sell at the market.” “Sell your meat to me.” said Robin Hood. The butcher agreed.
Robin Hood bought all the meat from the butcher. He also bought his horse and the butcher’s apronand cap. The butcher went home, and Robin Hood put on the butcher’s apron and cap and went to Nottingham to sell the meat. There were many people at the market. Robin Hood found a good place to stop and began to shout: “Very good meat! Come and buy! Very cheapmeat! ”
People were glad to buy cheap meat. Soon everybody came to buy meat from Robin; nobody wanted to buy meat from the other butchers. The other butchers were very angry. “Who is this man? ” they asked each other. “Why is he selling his meat so cheap? ” An old butcher said: “We must do something. If he comes to the market again, nobody will buy our meat. Let’s invite him to come and have dinner with the sheriff and us in the sheriff’s house. At dinner we’ll ask him who he is. So all the butchers went up to Robin.
“Will you come and have dinner with the sheriff and us? ” asked the old butcher. Robin agreed. “Thank you.” he said, “I am very hungry, I’ll gladly have dinner with you.” Before dinner the butchers told the sheriff about the new butcher who sold his meat so cheap. Then all the time they were eating, the sheriff looked at the new butcher and thought. He was thinking of a plan.
“This man is a fool,he is very greedy. Ifhe sells his meat cheap, he’ll sell his cattlecheap. I must buy all his cattle. Then I’ll sell the cattle to the other butchers and make a lot of money. After dinner the sheriff said to Robin Hood:
“Young man, have you any cattle to sell? ”
“Yes, very much.”
“I’ll buy all your cattle. When can you show them to me? ”
“I’ll go home tomorrow morning.”
“Very good. I’ll go with you and buy your cattle. But don’t say anything to the other butchers! ”
“All right.”
The next morning the sheriff put his money into three bags and went with Robin Hood to see the cattle.
The morning was fine. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. The birds were singing in the trees. Soon the sheriff and Robin Hood were in Sherwood Forest. The sheriff said to Robin Hood:
“There is very bad man in this forest who is an outlaw and a robber. His name is Robin Hood. Do you think we’ll see him? ”
“Don’t worry. I don’t think we’ll see him.
“That’s good, because I’m afraid of him. He’s a very wicked man.
Robin only laughed.
Soon Robin and the sheriff saw a great number of deer among the trees.
“Look! ” cried Robin. Look! There they are! Do you like my cattle? ” Now the sheriff understood that the young butcher was Robin Hood.
He was very much afraid. He said: “Young man, I think I’ll go back to Nottingham.” “What! You don’t want to buy my cattle? Why don’t you? Aren’t they good? You have enough money to buy them! ”
“I tell you I want to go back to Nottingham. I have no money.”
Robin Hood blew his horn. Little John and the other merry men came very quickly. Robin Hood said: “Good morning, Little John. Is dinner ready? Have you prepared good wine and beer? Today the sheriff of Nottingham will have dinner with us.
“Yes, take a seat and let’s have a dinner.
“Now, sheriff, you must payfor your dinner.” Hood looked at him.
“But I am a poor man. I have no money.”
“No money! And what is there in your bags? ”
“Oh, there are only stonesthere .”
“Little John”, Hood called him, “bring the sheriff’s bags.”
“Sheriff, you are a wicked man. I’ll take this money and give it to poor people. Now you may go back to Nottingham. Little John, give the sheriff his horse.
Robin Hood’s men brought the sheriff’s horse, and Robin showed him the way out of Sherwood Forest. When they came to the end of the forest, he said:
“Remember me to the butchers.” Robin laugh and rode back into the forest.

Legend “ A man and a woman”
Once upon a time there lived people who were unisexual. These ancient people were wiser than gods. They could do everything and were happy. The gods didn’t like that. They decided to conquer people. But how to do that? The gods thought a lot and at last decided to divide each person into two halves – a man and a woman – and mix them on the earth. So they did. Since that time people have become weak. Each one tries to find the lost half. Those who find each other fall in love and become as strong as gods. When all people find their halves they will become stronger then gods again.

Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen hobby according to your character and taste – you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting. Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things. The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to traveling and from chess to volleyball. Gardening is one of the oldest man’s hobbies. It is a well-known fact that the English are very found of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses. Both grown-ups and children are found of playing different computer games. This is relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular. Making thing includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts and others. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments.
President Bill Clinton, for example, plays saxophone. Almost everyone collects something during some period in his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards, toys, watches and other things. Some collections do not have real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and art galleries. Many world famous collections started as a small collection with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, one always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things one is interested in, he adds to what he knows. Learning thing can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby. However, sometimes hobby may turn into profession as it happened with the famous writer Jane Smith.
