The exercise:

Write four lines of prose about: Robin Hood.

A theatre group has been working with Max's learning centre all week to put on a Robin Hood play. Max has been excited from day one, despite not being paired up with his best friend (they were convinced they would be merry men together) and being selected as one of the skunks.

He is utterly, ridiculously excited about playing a skunk. In a play. In front of an audience.

Who is this child and what did he do with my Max?

Anyway, I cannot wait to see the performance tomorrow.

Aha! So I was almost right when I guessed you had a new family pet :) And it sounds like you have a potential actor in the family then... that could be very nice in twenty years time when you're being invited to Hollywood premieres.

Robin Hood
Emma set the script for WrongStart's summer play down and stared at the stage thoughtfully. The children, mostly aged between five and eight, were rehearsing Act I: Scene III, where Friar Tuck peeped through the wrong window and got pushed off the stage.
"Are we sure it's a good idea to update Robin Hood with themes and ideas from Game of Thrones?" she asked for the fifteenth time.
"The Headmaster says the demand for it on YouTube is enough to pay the catering bill for the next year," said Steve, averting his eyes as Friar Tuck screamed heart-wrenchingly.
