Vocabulary - 5 ways to use the word 'stand' - Robin Hood part 1

Hello, I'm Lizzie. Today's story is a famous legend about a so-called outlaw who likes

to stand up for poor people. He lives deep in Sherwood Forest in England with his band

of 'merry men'. Any ideas who this working-class hero might be?

Yes, that's right, it's Robin Hood. Robin has a habit of stealing from the rich

to give to the poor, but the Sheriff who takes money from the poor to fund his lavish lifestyle

can't stand him. He thinks of him as a robber and wants to have him arrested on his wedding

day of all days. Just as he is about to marry the beautiful Maid Marian.

A fight breaks out, but the Sheriff's men don't stand a chance against the fit and strong

Robin. He manages to escape and goes into hiding in the vast and dense Sherwood Forest.

The hunt is then on find him. Robin lives out in the forest and as time

passes, he meets various people such as Little John - who's not little at all. He's a good

fighter and Robin invites him to join his group of men, who together stand for equality

and fairness for everyone. They plan to steal money from the rich to help those who need

it more. But, oh dear, Robin stands to lose his lovely

Maid Marian... What's going to happen next?

You'll have to wait until next time to find out if Robin finally gets his girl!
