| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to |
| 0:30.0 | to one thousand one classic short stories and tales. This is your host John Hagdorn. Today two stories |
| 0:36.5 | from the Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle. The first story, Robin Hood and the Tinker. The first story, Robin Hood and The Tinker, the shooting match at Notting Ham. |
| 0:47.0 | And now Robin Hood and the Tinker. |
| 0:50.0 | Now it was told before how 200 pounds were set upon Robin Hood's head and how the |
| 0:55.9 | sheriff of Nottingham swore that he himself would seize Robin both because he |
| 1:00.0 | would feign have the 200 pounds and because the slain man was a kinsman of his own. |

| 1:36.0 | Thus a fortnight passed, in which time none came forward to do the sheriff's business. |
| 1:40.9 | Then said he, |
| 1:41.9 | A right good reward have I offered to whosoever would serve my warrant upon Robin Hood, |
| 1:46.0 | and I marvel that no one has come to undertake the task. |
| 1:49.0 | Then one of his men who is near him said, |
| 1:52.0 | Good master, thou knowest not. Then one of his men who is near him said, |
| 1:53.0 | Good master, thou knowest not the force that Robin Hood has about him |
