Robin Hood is a familiar figure to most of US.The outlaw who robbed the rich to give to the poor and dwelt with his band of merry followers in Sherwood Forest has long been celebrated in both prose and poetry.On stage and screen,he has fascinated countless generations.Yet behind that popular character lurks a mystery:Wh0,exactly,was Robin Hood?Did he exist at all?The evidence for a real,livin9,breathing Robin Hood is rather weak.Records show that in thirteenth.century,England there were a number of people who answered to his name or to something close to it.Yorkshire birth records note the arrival of a Robin Hood who apparently died in infancy.Also,of Yorkshire was Robyn Hode,a servant to King Edward Ⅱ.The man known as Robert Hude is remembered only through a now almost illegible name on a grave stone.In Sussex,there was also Gilbert Robynhod,a man whose name appears often in the local sheriffs records for nonpayment of debts. Despite careful searches of local records by historians,there is little connecting any of these men to the legendary Robin Hood.Still,there just may be a grain of truth in the legend of Robin and his merry band. In the thirteenth century,England certainly had its share of outlaws.Perhaps the most famous was Hereward the Wake,the last Angl0—Saxon chief to resist the Norman Conquest of 1066.HereWard and countless others rebelled against Norman rule and fled into the thick forests that carpeted the English countryside. Not surprisingly,their adventures formed the basis of numerous stories and songs in which the figure of Robin Hood consistently played a key role.Robin is presence in so many different songs and stories has led to the belief that he probably did exist,although perhaps not in,such heroic form.
It was discovered in Yorkshire birth records that.
A.Robin Hood was once a servant to King Edward II
B.there was a Robin Hood who died when he was a small babv
C.Robin Hood was a name commonly used in thirteenth—century England
D.the name of Robin Hood appeared often in the local sheriffs records
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he's honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they feel like and sleep as late as they wish. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buy that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we begin to live differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming.

A.are somewhat denied the chances of gaining happiness
