The Sheriff Who Came to Dinner with Robin Hood

Robin Hood’s most trusted outlaw was Little John.
outlaw:someone who has done something illegal, and who is hiding in order to avoid punishment - used especially about criminals in the past
punish:to make someone suffer because they have done something wrong or broken the law

In fact, there was nothing little about him at all. He was huge.

And if there was one thing that he really loved it was his food.

In particular, he liked to eat venison – which is the meat of deer.
deer:a large wild animal that can run very fast, eats grass, and has horns

There were plenty of deer in Sherwood Forrest,
plenty:a large quantity that is enough or more than enough

but it was forbidden to shoot them by punishment of death.
forbid:to tell someone that they are not allowed to do something, or that something is not allowed [≠ permit]

The law didn’t stop Little John, because he feared nothing or nobody.

Sometimes he would arrive at Robin Hood’s layer with a bag full of hares,
bag:the amount that a bag will hold
hares:an animal like a rabbit but larger, which can run very quickly

partridges, and pheasants and he would say to Robin:
partridge:a fat brown bird with a short tail which is shot for sport and food
pheasant:a large bird with a long tail, often shot for food, or the meat of this bird

“Come on my friend, let’s get a good fire going.

I’ll soon have these ready for roasting and what a fine dinner we shall have.”

But quite often Robin would make Little John wait for his dinner until a rich

and respectable guest had come to join them.

And at those times, when Little John was hungry,

he would become very tetchy and bad tempered indeed.

tetchy:likely to get angry or upset easily
bad tempered:someone who is bad-tempered becomes easily annoyed and talks in an angry way to people [= irritable]

All the other robbers who lived with Robin Hood would stay out of his way,

because nobody wanted to get into a fight with a man as big and strong as Little John.

One day, Robin asked Little John to go into the city of Nottingham to see

if he could pick up any news or gossip.

It so happened, that on that same day there was shooting competition in the market place.
competition:a situation in which people or organizations try to be more successful than other people or organizations [↪ compete, competitor]

Little John could not resist a chance to show of his skill with his bow and arrow,
resist: to try to prevent a change from happening, or prevent yourself from being forced to do something

and he paid the fee of one penny to join the contest.

Each archer had to shoot an arrow into a post.

Those who missed dropped out,

and those that hit went on to the next round when the posts were moved further back.
further:a greater distance, or beyond a particular place

Little John split six posts down the middle with his arrows. Nobody else could match him.

thank you answer my question.
I think Little John resembles Jyaian of Doraemon.
I don't like Jyaian.
