The Merry Adventures of RobinHood by Howard Pyle Pages 253~330.

After 40 days from last competition, the King asked some guards to catch RobinHood. One day when RobinHood talked with his partners suddenly there were few arrows to shot him. He ran away this attacked who felt it was narrowest miss of his whole life. After this attacked, the King decided to understand RobinHood by himself not only heard from some people’s information. He disguised a business man who has good relationship with King. He went to the forest with some guards then met RobinHood with his merry fellows. RobinHood still used the same way created a good party to welcome the King. During the party, the King and RobinHood talked a lot, he found RobinHood was a good man and very loyalty to his country. Therefore, after the party the King told RobinHood he would forgive RobinHood and his partners’ crimes before they did. Everyone was surprised and happy because they can back to their really life and work for King.

I really like this even thought at last RobinHood was death. I’m grad to read about the King finally decided to understand RobinHood. This part taught us, we couldn’t only hear other people’s opinions sometimes we must check by ourselves. Maybe the truth is not like what we though.

Yes -- we should find out for ourselves, and think for ourselves, before we believe something bad about other people. And of course the basic idea of this book is that sometimes to be a good person, you might have to break the laws or the customs of your country. It's a very subversive message!
