Chapter Three: Friar Tuck joins the outlaws
Will Scarlett told Robin that a big, fat man lived in a cavern near a river in Sherwood Forest.
One day Robin decided to meet him.
He went to the river and saw a fat friar who was fishing.
'Good morning, young man,' said the friar.
'Good day,' answered Robin Hood.
'You are fishing in an outlaw river. The fish you catch are mine. You can fish here today, but only if you carry me across the river.'
The friar did not like what Robin said.
So he looked at him and said, 'I can carry you across the river. You are very thin! Can you carry me across the river?'
Robin was surprised to hear this. 'Of course I can carry you! I am thin, but I am very strong.'
Robin lifted the enormous friar with great difficulty.
Then he carried him across the river.
'you are very heavy, friar. but I can carry you,'said Robin.
At the other side of the river, Robin said, 'Now you must carry me back.'
The friar started to carry Robin Hood across the river.
But when they arrived at the middle of the river, the friar stopped.
He sniffed Robin and said, 'Goodness! you smell like an old rat! You need a good, cold bath! '
And so, the friar threw Robin into the cold water.
He laughed loudly and then pulled Robin to the river bank.
Robin was angry at first.
Then,he smiled and said, 'You were right. I needed a bath. I feel better now. My good friar, you are free to fish in this river when you want.'
'Let us shake hands before I go away,' said the friar.
'Oh,don't go away,' said Robin. 'My name is Robin Hood.'
'What!you are Robin Hood?' asks the friar.
He was very surprised.
'Yes!Come and live with me and my outlaws. We are all good honest men. We take from the rich and give to the poor. We want a friar because we need the Word of God.What is your name?'
'I am Friar Michael Tuck, of Fountains Abbey. I had a quarrel with my Abbot. He was very greedy and rich. He never helped the poor. He forgot God's teachings. When I told him this, he wanted to punish me. I escaped to the forest. Now I live a simple life.'
'If you want to live a simple life, and help the poor, then come to Sherwood Forest,' said Robin.
The two men shook hands and promised to be friends for life.

第三章：塔克修士加入了亡命徒
威尔·斯佳丽告诉罗宾，舍伍德森林一条河附近的一个山洞里住着一个又大又胖的人。
一天，罗宾决定去见他。
他走到河边，看见一个胖胖的修士正在钓鱼。
“早上好，年轻人，”修士说。
“你好，”罗宾汉回答。
“你在一条非法的河里钓鱼。你抓到的鱼是我的。你今天可以在这里钓鱼，但你得背我过河。”
修士不喜欢罗宾说的话。
于是他看着他说：“我可以背你过河。你很瘦！你能背我过河吗？”
罗宾听到这个很惊讶。“我当然能抱你！”我很瘦，但我很强壮。”
罗宾汉费了好大的劲才把魁梧的修士抬起来。
然后他抱着他过河。
“你太重了，修士。但我可以背你，”罗宾说。
在河的另一边，罗宾说：“现在你必须把我背回去。”
修士开始背罗宾汉过河。
但当他们到达河中央时，修士停了下来。
他嗅了嗅罗宾，说：“天哪！你闻起来像只老老鼠！你需要好好洗个冷水澡！”
于是，修士把罗宾扔进了冷水里。
他大笑起来，然后把罗宾拉到河边。
罗宾一开始很生气。
然后，他笑着说：“你是对的。我需要洗个澡。我现在感觉好多了。我的好修士，你可以随时在这条河里钓鱼。”
“让我们在我走之前握握手吧，”修士说。
“哦，别走，”罗宾说。“我叫罗宾汉。”
“什么!你是罗宾汉？”修士问。
他非常惊讶。
“是的!来和我以及我的亡命之徒一起生活吧。我们都是诚实的好人。我们向富人索取，向穷人施舍。我们需要修士，因为我们需要神的话语。你叫什么名字？”
“我是喷泉修道院的迈克尔·塔克修士。我和修道院院长吵了一架。他非常贪婪和富有。他从不帮助穷人。他忘记了上帝的教诲。当我告诉他这件事时，他想惩罚我。我逃到了森林里。现在我过着简朴的生活。”
“如果你想过简单的生活，帮助穷人，那就来舍伍德森林吧，”罗宾说。
两个人握了握手，答应做一辈子的朋友。
