- ♪ Like with these stones upon the ground - Fa la ♪ - He used it to take from more and give to less so we each had the same amount.
- And then the evil Sheriff of Nottingham steals it all away.
- But after stealing it, the Sheriff would take a nap, we'd hold up the sign, and Robin would take from the Sheriff who had more and give back to us.

- Yes?
- Usually, before we get to the tree, there's some really big adventure, right?
- I know!
- This time, hardly anything happened.
- I just hope we still get to end with-- - A laugh and a sigh, right?
- You're talking my language!
That's all I need!
(both laughing) (Cat sighs.)
