Robin and the Beansprout

It is tremendously cold, and the gang await a hot meal; unfortunately, it is Thursday, and Robin has forgotten to do the cooking. His excuse bears remarkable similarity to 'the Pied Piper of Hamlin,' and Marian forces him to go to Worksop to buy a Chinese Takeaway. Bereft of funds, Robin does an Elvis impersonation, and to prevent its perpetuation, Gladys and Snooker give Robin a box of food; unfortunately for Robin, it is not until he returns that he discovers the box contains one single beansprout. Guy has had a bath, and the King orders that he be clothed and fed; so, the Sheriff goes to Worksop and steals all of Gladys' and Snooker's food, while he sends the guards off to find a fur. The food mission is accomplished, but a breakdown in communication leads to the guards bringing back an enormous fir tree. The Sheriff orders that they get rid of it, so they throw it off the battlements, and it coincidentally lands exactly where Robin had thrown the beansprout; believing he had landed
