Robin Hood Rescuing Three Squires No. 140, Version B
is a poem about Robin Hood's bravery and trickery. Playing tricks is characteristic of
Robin Hood. Saving the day is too.
At the beginning of the poem,
Robin Hood seems to be minding his own business. He comes across a woman who is crying. The woman
explains to Robin Hood that 3 men are going to die. He starts on his way towards Nottingham.
While on his way he comes across an old man. The man explains to Robin Hood why the men are going
to be killed by hanging. Robin Hood, thinking this unjust, asks the man for his clothes. He
decides to dress as the man and continues into town.
Later Robin
Hood arrives to Nottingham and encounters the Sheriff who is tricked into believing Robin Hood is
an old man. Robin Hood takes out his horn and starts blowing it. This is a signal for his men to
come and help. The poem ends with Robin Hood and his men hanging the
Sheriff.
