Robin Hood and Little John were plotting against Prince John. &amp;ldquo;In three
days the King&amp;rsquo;s ward shall be visiting Nottingham.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Aye, it&amp;rsquo;s all the
village folk can talk about these days,&amp;rdquo; agreed Little John.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What the
people don&amp;rsquo;t know is that our clever Prince John is secretly sending 5000
pieces of gold with Lady Marion  to the Sheriff. The purpose of that
gold is to crush our little rebellion,&amp;rdquo; added Robin. Little John looked
at his friend in amazement as Robin Hood continued. &amp;ldquo;It is my plan to use
that gold to release King Richard from his Austrian prison and return him
to England. In addition, we shall abduct Maid Marion and her travelling
companion Lady Anne for a tidy ransom.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
