Robin Hood Makes Good
About Robin Hood Makes Good
Three squirrels argue over a Robin Hood book. The biggest makes the other two play Little John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. A fox, in a falsetto, claims to be Maid Marian in trouble and lures the two larger squirrels into his cabin. He drops the voice, hangs them by their breeches, and talks about stew. The smallest squirrel, outside, fakes hunters with voices and noises. The fox turns yellow and runs, the cabin door stuck to him. Untied, the pair come out. The little one asks, "Who's gonna be Robin Hood?"
