Сделайте краткий пересказ по : robin hood and the bishop part ii ⚜текст⚜ the old woman got into robin’s clothes. the bishop arrived. he was sure that robin could hide in her cottage. the old woman didn’t say a word. with robin’s hat down over her face, she stood in a dark corner and waited. they shouted with triumph when they saw the figure in green standing in the corner. the old woman had a good stick. she fought with it. she gave one or two of the bishop’s men smacks on the head. outside she could hear the bishop shouting, ‘gently, my men, gently. take him alive, take him alive.’ after a little she pretended to give in. they led her out to the bishop. so glad was he to see robin hood, as he thought. ‘aha, my man,’ he cried, ‘we have you at last. say farewell to your green wood. you will never see it again.’ the old woman held her head down. but the bishop was so old and blind that he could not tell that it was not robin. he thought robin was hanging his head in shame. ‘ho there,’ he cried, ‘honour to the prince of thieves. the finest horse in the company for the king of sherwood forest.’ ‘he is so ugly,’ said one man, looking at the old woman. ‘as ugly as sin,’ said another. ‘ah, my children,’ said the bishop, ‘you see what sin does. this man has a wicked life, and it left its mark on his face.’ when the old woman heard that, she shook with anger. it was so untrue. the bishop thought that robin was trembling in fear. ‘ah, you may well tremble my man,’ he said. the punishment is near.’ but the old woman never answered. they set off, the old woman on her beautiful white horse riding beside the bishop. the bishop laughed and sang. he was so glad. but his laughter did not last long. suddenly they saw men riding. ‘who are these,’ said the bishop, ‘and what man is that who leads them? ’ for the first time the old woman spoke. ‘i think it is robin hood.’ the bishop stopped and looked to her with a pale face. ‘who are you, then? ’ he asked. ‘only an old woman, my lord bishop.’ she replied. ‘my lord bishop,’ said robin, taking his hat off, ‘you gave us the trouble.’ then he went to the old woman, lifted her gently to the ground. ‘i thank you, dame,’he said, ‘for your kindness to me. robin hood will never forget it. if you follow much the miller’s son he will take you to maid marian. she is waiting for you.’ ‘thank you kindly,’ said the old woman. the bishop’s men did not fight. they saw it was useless. robin and his brave men could easily kill all the bishop’s men. robin helped the bishop to get off his horse. ‘now, my lord bishop, how much money have you? ’ ‘the money which i have with me is not mine,’ replied the bishop. ‘very true it is not yours,’ agreed robin. ‘it belongs to the monastery of st. mary,’ said the bishop. ‘ pardon me, it belongs to the poor people from whom you stole it,’ said robin, ‘little john, bring the bishop’s money bags.’ little john brought the bishop’s money bags and counted out five hundred pounds. ‘now let him go,’ said robin. ‘master,’ said little john, ‘may the bishop sing mass before he goes? ’ ‘you are right,’ said robin, ‘i have to-day much to thank for. the bishop shall sing mass before he goes.’ so in the wood robin and his men, and the bishop and his men, friend and enemy, knelt together side by side while the bishop sang mass. then robin called for the bishop’s horse. he led him and his men back to the path through the woods. ‘go,’ he said to the bishop, ‘thank god for this day, and in your prayers forget not robin hood.’
