«If that is all you have,» said Robin, «I won't take a penny. And if you need more, you can have it. But Little John must see.»
Little John looked in the monk's bags.
«It's right,» he said. «He has only fifteen pieces of gold, added to the money the abbot has sent us. The abbot is very kind. He has sent the four hundred pieces of gold the knight borrowed from us, and four hundred more! I have counted eight hundred and fifteen pieces of gold.»
«Thank your abbot (благодари своего аббата),» said Robin Hood. «We will keep the eight hundred pieces of gold (мы оставим себе восемьсот золотых монет), and poor people will be very glad to have it (и бедные люди будут очень счастливы получить их; glad — довольный; рад, доволен, счастлив). Take your fifteen pieces (забери свои пятнадцать монет). I won't take a penny of that (я не возьму из них ни пенни).»
The monk rode away, very angry (монах ускакал верхом, очень рассерженный; to ride — ездить верхом, скакать).

Before night fell, Sir Richard of the Lee came to the greenwood tree (прежде чем наступила ночь, сэр Ричард из Ли добрался до того самого дуба; to fall — падать; наступать, опускаться; to come to — приходить, прибывать /в какое-либо место/).
«I am here, Robin Hood (я здесь, Робин Гуд),» he said. «I have brought the four hundred pieces of gold that I borrowed from you (я привез четыреста золотых монет, которые я у тебя занимал).»

Before night fell, Sir Richard of the Lee came to the greenwood tree.
«I am here, Robin Hood,» he said. «I have brought the four hundred pieces of gold that I borrowed from you.»
Robin Hood said, «The Abbot of St. Mary has paid it for you (настоятель /аббатства/ Святой Марии заплатил их за тебя). I won't take it from you as well as from him (я не возьму их с тебя, после того как я взял их с него: «так же как и с него»). That wouldn't be fair (это будет нечестно; fair — порядочный, честный, справедливый). Take back your money, and help poor people with it (забери свои деньги и помоги ими бедным людям).» He told Sir Richard about the monk, and the knight laughed (он рассказал сэру Ричарду о монахе, и рыцарь рассмеялся).
