Little Fox The Adventures of Robin Hood.
2
Chapter 1.
3
Trouble in the Forest.
4
A long time ago, a famous outlaw lived in England.
5
His name was Robin Hood.
6
Robin and his band of merry men lived in the green woods of Sherwood Forest.
7
The forest was near the town of Nottingham.
8
Everyone in the countryside loved Robin and his men.
9
The outlaws always took care of those in need.
10
They robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
11
They rarely said no to anyone in need who asked for something.
12
This is the story of how Robin Hood became an outlaw.
13
It began one day when the Sheriff of Nottingham announced an archery contest.
14
Robin was only 18, but he was very proud of his skill as an archer.
15
I'm going to enter the contest, he said to himself.
16
One morning, Robin chose his best bow and arrows.
17
Then he set off from the town of Loxley.
18
It was a beautiful day in May.
19
Flowers bloomed in the fields and apple blossoms filled the trees.
20
Birds chirped brightly and the sun felt warm.
21
Robin whistled as he walked along.
22
He was happy to be outdoors.
23
On his way to Nottingham,
24
Robin passed through Sherwood Forest.
25
Suddenly, he came upon a group of the king's men sitting under a tall oak tree.
26
The men were feasting and drinking.
27
One man with his mouth full of food called out to Robin.
28
Hello little lad, he said laughing.
29
I see you have your toy bow and arrows.
30
Where are you taking them?
31
Ha ha!
32
The other men laughed too.
33
Robin got angry.
34
He didn't like being laughed at.
35
My bow and arrows are as good as yours, he declared.
36
In fact, I'm on my way to Nottingham.
37
I'm going to compete in the Sheriff's Archery Contest.
38
Listen to him, said another man.
39
He's just a boy, but he thinks he can compete against real archers.
40
Robin fumed.
41
I'm very good at shooting.
42
I can hit a target a thousand feet away, he said boldly.
43
The men roared with laughter.
44
Listen to him, the first man said.
45
It's easy to boast when there is no target in sight.
46
At this, Robin grew even angrier.
47
Actually, I see a herd of deer in that clearing over there.
48
I bet five pounds that I can kill the biggest one.
49
And I bet five pounds that you won't kill anything.
50
The man replied.
51
Robin picked up his bow and swiftly shot an arrow toward the herd.
52
The finest deer in the herd dropped dead a second later.
53
Ha!
54
Robin cried.
55
How do you like that shot?
56
I wish I'd bet 500 pounds.
57
The King's men weren't laughing anymore.
58
Now they were angry.
59
The man who lost the bet was the angriest of all.
60
You'd better get out of here.
61
The man said with a nasty snarl.
62
You just killed one of the King's deer,
63
and that's a very serious crime.
64
Catch him! cried another man.
65
No, let him go! said someone else.
66
He's just a boy.
67
He won't hurt anyone.
68
Robin stood silently, glaring at the men.
69
Finally, he whirled around and stalked off.
70
As he strode away, his blood boiled.
71
He was still young and sometimes had a bad temper.
72
The man who'd made the bet was still furious too.
73
This young stranger had embarrassed him in front of the others.
74
Suddenly he sprang to his feet and grabbed his own bow.
75
He sent an arrow whistling toward Robin.
76
Luckily for Robin, the man's aim wasn't perfect.
77
But his arrow still came very close to Robin's head.
78
Robin spun around and lifted his own bow again.
79
You said I was no archer!" he cried.
80
I dare you to say that again!
81
He shot an arrow back at the man,
82
and the man fell forward with a sharp cry.
83
As the other men gathered around their friend,
84
Robin took off into the dense woods.
85
Go after him! cried one man.
86
But none of the men followed the bold young archer.
87
They were all too afraid of his skill with his bow and arrow.
88
Instead, they turned back to their dead friend and lifted his body.
89
They began to carry him toward Nottingham.
90
As for Robin, all the joy had disappeared from that beautiful spring day.
91
He hung his head.
92
What have I done?
93
He thought.
94
I wish I'd never seen those men.
95
I wish I'd never raised my bow to shoot that first arrow.
96
Guilt and sadness filled young Robin Hood.
97
Yet there is nothing I can do now, he thought.
98
What is done is done.
99
Robin Hood had killed a man and killed the king's deer.
100
It was impossible for the young man to return home.
101
So he became an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest.
102
As the year passed, 100 outlaws joined him in the woods.
103
Some of these outlaws were in trouble for shooting the king's deer because they were hungry.
104
Other men had lost their land when the king seized it for himself.
105
Some men had been cheated by rich, evil bishops.
106
So they were all forced to leave home and hide in the forest.
107
In time, they chose Robin as their leader.
108
And like Robin, they vowed to help the poor and people in need.
109
One spring morning, Robin felt restless.
110
He decided to look for adventure.
111
You stay behind in the woods and listen for my horn,
112
he said to his men.
113
If I blow it three times, come running.
114
It's a signal that I need your help.
115
Robin wandered out of the forest.
116
He greeted pretty girls on their way to market.
117
He saw a monk riding a donkey and a knight on a fine horse.
118
He bowed before a fair lady.
119
At last he came to a narrow wooden bridge over a stream.
120
He spotted a huge stranger on the other side.
121
The narrow bridge was only wide enough for one man.
122
Both men hurried to cross the bridge first.
123
They met in the middle.
124
Out of my way, cried Robin.
125
No, replied the stranger.
126
You get out of my way.
127
I'll use my bow and arrows to make you move, declared Robin.
128
You coward, said the man.
129
You threaten me with a bow?
130
But all I have is this.
131
He shook a heavy wooden staff,
132
the kind used for fighting.
133
No one calls me a coward, said Robin.
134
I'll cut a staff from those trees over there.
135
Then we'll see what happens.
136
Robin stepped off the bridge and made a long staff from a tree.
137
While he worked, he sneaked a look at the stranger.
138
The tall man was whistling and gazing at the stream as he waited for Robin.
139
That guy is huge, Robin said to himself.
140
He looks quite strong, too.
141
But Robin went bravely back to the bridge carrying his staff.
142
I'm ready.
143
Let's fight on the bridge until one of us tumbles into the stream.
144
The stranger twirled his staff over his head.
145
Let's go!
146
Robin struck first, but the stranger blocked the blow.
147
After an hour, both men were tired and bruised.
148
At last, Robin smacked the stranger in the ribs.
149
The man wobbled, but didn't fall off the bridge.
150
Instead, he hit Robin over the head.
151
Robin was furious.
152
He hit the man as hard as he could,
153
but the stranger struck back,
154
knocking Robin into the stream.
155
The stranger laughed.
156
And where are you now?
157
Robin couldn't help laughing too.
158
I'm floating out to sea!
159
He joked as he climbed onto dry land.
160
Let's shake hands.
161
You're the bravest man I've ever met.
162
Robin raised his horn and blew three times.
163
Suddenly a group of men dressed in green burst from the woods.
164
What's wrong, Robin?
165
Called Will Scarlet.
166
You're soaking wet.
167
Robin grinned.
168
This big fellow knocked me into the water.
169
Then he shall go for a swim too!
170
Cried Will.
171
Robin's men leaped onto the stranger.
172
The stranger fought back fiercely with his staff,
173
but they wrestled him to the ground.
174
Let him go.
175
Robin said.
176
Don't hurt him.
177
He seems like a good and honest man.
178
Then he said to the stranger,
179
How about joining my band of men?
180
You'll have three suits of green clothes every year,
181
plus all you can eat and drink.
182
You're not very good with a staff, grumbled the man.
183
He was still angry with Robin's men.
184
Can you shoot an arrow better than I can?
185
If so, then I'll join you.
186
Fine, said Robin.
187
Someone lend this stranger a bow and arrow.
188
Will cut a small piece of white bark and fastened it to a tree.
189
The stranger took aim.
190
He hit the bark with his first arrow.
191
Nice shot!
192
Robin said.
193
Now it is my turn.
194
Robin stepped up and aimed.
195
His arrow cut through the air and split the first arrow down the middle.
196
What an incredible shot!
197
cried the stranger.
198
I'm John Little, and I'll gladly join your band.
199
Robin grinned.
200
You're such a big man.
201
I think we'll call you Little John.
202
My name is Robin Hood,
203
and you shall be my right-hand man.
204
I'll capture that outlaw Robin Hood one day,
205
vowed the Sheriff of Nottingham.
206
The Sheriff was related to the man whom Robin had killed in Sherwood Forest.
207
But there was another reason the Sheriff wanted to catch Robin.
208
The King was offering a generous reward.
209
Two hundred pounds.
210
But no one wanted to help the sheriff find Robin.
211
Not even when he offered a reward too.
212
People were afraid of the bold outlaw,
213
and many even laughed at the sheriff.
214
He'd never be able to capture Robin.
215
This made the sheriff very angry.
216
Robin Hood thinks he can get away with breaking the king's laws,
217
said the sheriff to his servants.
218
Well, the King will hear about this.
219
Get everything ready for a trip to London.
220
We're going to see King Henry.
221
For two days, the Sheriff's servants prepared for the trip.
222
The Sheriff's men polished their armor,
223
eager to impress the King.
224
At last, everyone set off for London.
225
And what a sight the Sheriff and his men made!
226
People stopped to watch them riding on their fine horses.
227
The men wore shining armor and fancy clothing.
228
After two days, the Sheriff and his men finally reached London,
229
where King Henry lived with Queen Eleanor.
230
The sheriff and his men were led to the king.
231
They bowed in front of him.
232
Your majesty, said the sheriff.
233
What can I do for you, sheriff? asked King Henry.
234
Is there something that you want?
235
As you know, that rascal Robin Hood lives near Nottingham.
236
The sheriff began.
237
He kills your dear and robs your loyal men.
238
I've tried to arrest him,
239
but I haven't been able to lay a hand on him.
240
I've come to beg your majesty for help.
241
You want my help?
242
The King's eyes were wide in amazement.
243
You come here with all these armed men!
244
And you can't catch one thief?
245
I.. well, your majesty, Robin is very clever.
246
The sheriff went on.
247
He's unlike other outlaws who...
248
Get out of my sight!
249
Roared the king.
250
Go back to Nottingham and come up with a plan.
251
If you can't capture Robin Hood on your own,
252
maybe you shouldn't be sheriff.
253
Yes, your majesty.
254
I'll think of a plan, your majesty.
255
The sheriff backed away from the king,
256
making one low bow after another.
257
He groaned quietly to himself.
258
I have no idea what to do.
259
He thought.
260
The group rode slowly back to Nottingham.
261
The sheriff hung his head during the trip.
262
At last, the sheriff's face lit up.
263
Aha!
264
He cried.
265
I've got an idea!
266
Ride quickly!
267
He ordered his men.
268
We have a lot of work to do.
269
I know how to lure Robin Hood out of the forest and into a trap!
270
A few days later, the Sheriff sent messengers to deliver news across the kingdom.
271
The Sheriff was holding a big archery contest in Nottingham.
272
First prize was a gold arrow.
273
The Sheriff smiled slyly, delighted with his clever idea.
274
Robin Hood won't be able to resist an archery contest contest.
275
I'll surely be able to arrest him now.
276
And indeed, Robin Hood could not resist the contest.
277
As soon as he heard the news,
278
he gathered his band of men.
279
Come, my merry men.
280
Let's enter this shooting contest.
281
There's a fine prize of a gold arrow,
282
and it would annoy the sheriff if one of us won.
283
Hooray!
284
shouted the men.
285
Let's do it!
286
Wait, my good master!
287
Called out David of Doncaster.
288
I've just come from the Blue Boar Inn.
289
I heard something very interesting from some men there.
290
They say the sheriff wants you to enter the contest so he can capture you.
291
I believe it's a trap, Robin.
292
You must stay here in Sherwood Forest where you'll be safe.
293
Hmm, well maybe we won't go.
294
Robin was quiet for a moment.
295
Oh, but I don't want the Sheriff to think I'm afraid of him.
296
David was worried.
297
I told you, it's a trap, he said.
298
The inn's owner heard it straight from one of the Sheriff's men.
299
I beg you not to go.
300
Thank you for the warning, David, said Robin.
301
But this news actually makes the contest seem even more interesting.
302
His eyes twinkled with fun.
303
We're sure to have a good time.
304
Isn't that so, men?
305
His men cheered.
306
They were all looking forward to the shooting contest.
307
Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
