“Oh, yeah?” Ross retorted. “Well, don’t think you’re going to unload that role on me! I’m going to be Robin Hood.”
Mr. Holloway filmed a scene with Brad and Chips as Little John and Will Stutely. He then tried out several of the Den 1 boys in the part of the sheriff.
However, everyone agreed that Ross had acted the role better than anyone else.
“Dan, you ought to be Robin Hood,” Brad told him as the two rested under a tree. “You’re a natural for that part, just as Ross is in the role of sheriff.”
“Try to make him think so!”
“It’s up to Mr. Holloway and Mr. Hatfield to assign the parts.”
“Sure,” Dan agreed, chewing at a blade of grass, “but it was decided Robin Hood should be played by the Cub who proves to be the best shot. And we both know Ross is tops.”
“It hasn’t been proven yet,” Brad insisted. “I noticed while you were practicing a while ago, you’re improving fast, Dan. Ross hasn’t touched a bow all day.”
“I’m working hard,” Dan admitted. “Honestly though, I think Ross will win the part.”
“He doesn’t deserve it with all his boasting.”
