At

the

's

eyes

twinkled

,

and

he

chuckled

to

himself

.

"

Nay

,

good

youth

,

"

quoth

he

,

"

if

thou

canst

not

sell

thy

cattle

,

it

may

be

I

will

find

a

man

that

will

lift

them

from

thy

hands

;

perhaps

that

man

may

be

myself

,

for

I

love

a

merry

youth

and

would

help

such

a

one

along

the

path

of

life

.

Now

how

much

dost

thou

want

for

thy

horned

cattle

?

"

"

Well

,

"

quoth

Robin

,

"

they

are

worth

at

least

five

hundred

pounds

.

Nay

,

"

answered

the

Sheriff

slowly

,

and

as

if

he

were

thinking

within

himself

,

"

well

do

I

love

thee

,

and

fain

would

I

help

thee

along

,

but

five

hundred

pounds

in

money

is

a

good

round

sum

;

besides

I

have

it

not

by

me

.

"

Yet

I

will

give

thee

three

hundred

pounds

for

them

all

,

and

that

in

good

hard

silver

and

gold

.

"

"

Now

thou

old

miser

!

"

quoth

Robin

,

"

well

thou

knowest

that

so

many

horned

cattle

are

worth

seven

hundred

pounds

and

more

,

and

even

that

is

but

small

for

them

,

and

yet

thou

,

with

thy

gray

hairs

and

one

foot

in

the

grave

,

wouldst

trade

upon

the

folly

of

a

wild

youth

.

"

At

this

the

Sheriff

looked

grimly

at

Robin

.

"

Nay

,

"

quoth

Robin

,

"

look

not

on

me

as

though

thou

hadst

sour

beer

in

thy

mouth

,

man

.

I

will

take

thine

offer

,

for

I

and

my

brothers

do

need

the

money

.

We

lead

a

merry

life

,

and

no

one

leads

a

merry

life

for

a

farthing

,

so

I

will

close

the

bargain

with

thee

.

But

mind

that

thou

bringest

a

good

three

hundred

pounds

with

thee

,

for

I

trust

not

one

that

driveth

so

shrewd

a

bargain

.

But

what

thy

?

Men

Robin

Then

quoth

the

Sheriff

,

"

I

will

come

this

day

to

see

thy

horned

beasts

.

But

first

my

clerk

shall

draw

up

a

paper

in

which

thou

shalt

be

bound

to

the

sale

,

for

thou

gettest

not

my

money

without

I

get

thy

beasts

in

return
