In Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle, Robin expresses cleverness and he is definitely not greedy. He uses his cleverness to take from the greedy and give to the needy. The sheriff of Nottingham has a personal problem with Robin because he killed a man that was related to the sheriff so he wrote a warrant. The tinker, carrier of the warrant, befriended Robin not knowing it was himself. They drank in a tavern and the tinker fell asleep and Robin took the warrant. He showed great cleverness in not getting caught.
   In a way I admire Robin Hood in the way that he does good for the less fortunate and has "street smarts" like how he took advantage of the Tinker because he didn't know that the warrant was on him, Robin Hood. He was also very clever when he disguised himself for a archery competition that the sheriff made as a trap to capture Robin.  He is the jelly of a pb & j sandwich thats makes the story complete.
    If I lived in that era, I would really want to be the merry Robin Hood. He's the hero of the story that fights for the love of a maiden. His "street smarts", cleverness, and unselfishness add to the great, strong character everyone loves (except the sheriff).
