Chapter Five: Robin meets Maid Marian
When Robin Hood was a boy, his best friends were Marian Fitzwater and her brother,Mark.
Robin played with them and taught them to use the bow and arrow.
He also taught them to fight with the sword.
Robin loved only Maid Marian, and she loved only him.
One spring day, Marian's father, Lord Robert Fitzwater of Malaset, said to her,'Marian, you are a beautiful maid. Soon you must marry. There is a very rich nobleman who wants to marry you.'
'What is his name?' Marian asked.
'His name is Sir Guy of Gisbourne, a good friend of the Sheriff of Nottingham.'
When Marion heard this, she was very unhappy.
This was terrible! she did not want to marry Sir Guy of Gisbourne.
She loved Robin Hood and wanted to marry him.
She decided to run away to join Robin Hood.
She disguised herself as a knight.
Then she took a horse and went to Sherwood Forest.
Robin Hood was in the forest.
He was coming from Nottingham, and was disguised as a beggar.
They met in the forest.
It was evening and it was almost dark.
When Robin saw the knight, he asked, 'What are you doing in the forest?'
'What are you doing here, beggar man?' answered the knight.
They did not recognize each other.
'This is outlaw country. Go back! you can't stay here. We don't know you.' Robin said.
'I cannot go back! I am not Afraid of outlaws,' answered the knight, taking out as word. 'I am ready to fight you!'
And so the fight began.
Both were experts with the sword.
But Robin fell to the ground.
The knight said, 'now, take me to your leader, take me to Robin Hood!'
She took off her helmet and Robin was very surprised.
It was his dear Marian! Robin took off his beggar clothes.
Marian recognized Robin. She too, was very surprised!
Then,they kissed.
There was great happiness in Sherwood Forest that evening.
Marian and Robin were finally together.
Friar Tuck married them after a few days.
There was a big wedding celebration in the forest.
Maid Marian was now part of Sherwood Forest.
She was gentle and kind to all, everyone loved her.

第五章：罗宾遇见少女玛丽安
当罗宾汉还是个孩子的时候，他最好的朋友是玛丽安·菲茨沃特和她的哥哥马克。
罗宾和他们一起玩，教他们使用弓箭。
他还教他们用剑战斗。
罗宾只爱少女玛丽安，她也只爱他。
一个春日，玛丽安的父亲，马拉塞特的罗伯特·费茨沃特勋爵对她说：“玛丽安，你是一个美丽的姑娘。你很快就要结婚了。有一个非常富有的贵族想娶你。”
“他叫什么名字？”玛丽安问。
“他是吉斯本的盖伊爵士，是诺丁汉郡长的好朋友。”
玛丽恩听到这话，非常不高兴。
这太可怕了！她不想嫁给吉斯本的盖伊爵士。
她爱罗宾汉，想嫁给他。
她决定逃跑加入罗宾汉。
她化装成骑士。
然后她骑上一匹马去了舍伍德森林。
罗宾汉在森林里。
他从诺丁汉来，化装成一个乞丐。
他们在森林里相遇。
那是晚上，天几乎黑了。
当罗宾看到骑士时，他问：“你在森林里做什么？”
“你在这儿干什么，乞丐？”骑士回答说。
他们彼此不认识。
“这是一个非法的区域。回去!你不能待在这里。我们不认识你。”罗宾说。
“我不能回去！我不怕亡命之徒，”骑士说着，掏出一把剑。“我准备好和你战斗了！”
于是，战斗开始了。
两人都是剑术专家。
但是罗宾倒在了地上。
骑士说：“现在，带我去见你们的首领，带我去见罗宾汉！”
她摘下了头盔，罗宾非常惊讶。
那是他亲爱的玛丽安！罗宾脱下了乞丐的衣服。
玛丽安认出了罗宾。她也很惊讶！
然后，他们接吻了。
那天晚上，舍伍德森林里充满了欢乐。
玛丽安和罗宾终于在一起了。
几天后，塔克修士为他们主持了婚礼。
森林里举行了一场盛大的婚礼庆典。
少女玛丽安现在是舍伍德森林的一部分。
她对所有人都温柔善良，每个人都爱她。
