Making Inference

 
Everyone in England knew about Robin Hood. The king was mad! He did not want a thief to be a hero. He sent his men to Sherwood Forest to catch Robin Hood. But they could not catch him. Robin Hood outsmarted the king’s men every time!

On day, Robin Hood sent a message to the king. The message said, “Come with five brave men. We will see who is stronger.” The king decided to fool Robin Hood. He wanted to see if what people said about Robin Hood was true. The king dressed as  a monk. A monk is a poor man who serves God. Then, he went to Sherwood Forest to see Robin Hood.
