At the trysting tree in the secret glade Little John found Robin and a great throng of the outlaws sitting down to supper round the great fires.

‘Greetings, good master!’ he cried gaily. ‘How fared you as a beggar? Not better than I, I dare swear. For look you what I have got by my begging: three hundred pounds in gold!’

And with that he told the tale of the four beggars, amid laughter and cheers.

‘I am glad that insolent rogue got him a good thrashing,’ said Robin. ‘For he was a low thief, and no honest beggar. But my gains are greater than yours, Little John. For see, as a beggar, I won three men’s lives – and here they are, three proper young men to draw a bow and strike a blow for freedom, for right, and for King Richard!’

All applauded this speech, and Little John was the first to admit that Robin had indeed proved the better beggar that day and won a more valuable booty than any hoard of gold.
