An Original Parody of the Disney version of Robin Hood __Notorious Hooded Robin__ Once upon a time off in the deep forest of Sherwood lived a sneaky little Robin bird. He was very clever, and knew how to get what he wanted. Robin had a best friend named Little John. Little John was a cricket that had befriended the bird, and persuaded Robin not to eat him. Little John had an enormous amount of wit, and often disagreed with the deals his friend made. Robin was an outlaw in the kingdom; because he was known to fly into the wealthy’s living quarters and take what he needed in his beak. This is what Little John disagreed with. He was a big-hearted cricket; that saw no problem in stealing bread to feed the rest of the animals in the forest, but stealing from higher beings for personal gain was wrong. One day while Robin was flying back to the forest after a failed attempt to swipe some fresh berries he found himself attacked and trapped by the king’s guards. He was brought to the castle, but to Robin’s surprise, it was the prince that sent the men after him. The Prince knew about Robin’s background, and knew the King would be ecstatic to have finally captured the bird. However, the Prince knew he was in competition with his Brother for the crown. If he could make the King become disappointed in his rival, he would have an even bigger opportunity for Kinghood. The Prince made a proposition for Robin, he accepted and was let go. The deal was to release Robin, and in return the bird would fly into the Prince’s brother’s room and steal a diamond bracelet. When the King finds out he will be outraged at the immaturity of his one son. The Prince will then claim to have found the jewelry, and the King will be so happy, and proud of his other son’s maturity.

When anyone who could shoot was able to enter. This meant <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">everyone in the castle would be busy all day, and both Princes would be out shooting. In the forest Little John was trying to convince Robin not to go through with the deal. He didn’t want his friend making deals with the wrong side. Robin wasn’t supposed to steal from the rich to help the rich. He suggested they just go off into the forest, <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">and find a new place to live where no one knew about their past. Robin insulted by the idea knew he had to do it in order to continue helping the poor of the Sherwood Forest; he also wanted to prove to the King-to-be he could swipe

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">anything, and to remember not to test him in the future. Disregarding Little John’s warning Robin took flight for the castle. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">To one the side of the castle he saw the archers getting ready for the competition. He spotted the king, and both his sons; he knew it was safe to fly up, and go inside. While he was inside he started looking for the bracelet. He made it to the Prince’s room and found what he was looking for. In the room Robin saw a wanted poster with his picture on it. He quickly made a <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">hooded cloak and wrapped himself in it. Robin flew out of the window and towards the archers. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">With an immortal feeling creeping in Robin decided to fly past the shooters with his trophy. As soon as the evil Prince saw his brother’s bracelets in the beak of a hooded bird he knew it was Robin. The Prince drew back his bow and pinned the little bird against a target. The King jumped with joy seeing that his son had killed a hooded robber. The King walked over to the bird took the bracelet out of its lifeless beak, and took off the hood. He shouted in excitement! His son had not only got back a diamond bracelet, but he also killed the <span style="background-color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Notorious Hooded Robin. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">The Prince proofed to his father he was the better choice for king, and was rewarded with the honor of getting the crown after his father’s death. The King decided to leave the bird pinned to the target as a warning to the rest of the thieves in the kingdom. Little John hopped over to his friend’s body and wept. He took his friend’s body down and buried it. He made a marking on the grave that read “Robin Hood” “Steal from the rich, give to the poor.”

Though Robin Hood steals from the rich, his intentions to help those in need allow everyone but the law to look past his criminal life style and accept that he wants to bring economic equality. Morally, Robin Hood teaches us to be selfless and generosity greatly surpasses greed.
