Robin of the Hood

The famous classic "Robin Hood" has just been read  by me. I really loved the book that i picked to read as a story that took place in the Middle Ages. One thing that puzzled me was that one of the most famous "Robin of the Hood" stories was not to be found anywhere in the book. You probably have heard the story of how the evil sheriff sets up an archery contest to catch Robin Hood. (Robin goes to the fair under a disguise and wins the golden arrow set for a prize. After the contest is over Robin goes off and shoots the arrow through the Sheriff's dining room window with a note attached to it. It tells the sheriff that he gave the prize away to Robin Hood. The sheriff is outraged, etc. etc.) Well, the book doesn't include that story! Either it was not the original copy or the story was just made up by someone else and was immensely popular. The book, however, was a great read and i hope that someday whoever i reading this will read it,  too.
