Robin Hood lay on his rough bed and watched the rising moon as it sent silvery sparkles through the breeze-blown leaves outside his room. He wondered how he could ever settle down to learning a trade when the greenwood around him offered a life of freedom, excitement and adventure.
All through the years, while Robin was growing from a boy into a sturdy young man, he never failed to remember that first adventure in the forest. He spent his leisure time wrestling, leaping and running with the other boys. He learnt to fight with big poles and with great sticks with handles like baskets, with which two fighters tried to crack each other's heads. He felt confident riding a horse, learning to set it at high fences, and leap them. But his much loved and most preferred sport was aiming at a target with bows and arrows.
So he grew up, a manly, robust young fellow, who could run swiftly like a hare, ride with enormous swiftness, wing an arrow exactly at its target, and fight courageously with his fists or with staves.
Seeing his boy grow into a daring, strong youth, his father thought seriously about his future. It was time that the lad learned a trade. His strength made him suitable for many trades, but his adventurous, high-spirited nature caused his father some anxiety. Nonetheless, Robin's mother and father were very proud of their brave and bold young son. Strong, well-built, handsome, and full of fun and good humour, he was well liked amongst his friends.
