The knight stood up (рыцарь встал /с колена/; to stand up — вставать). «I will pay you your money (я заплачу тебе деньги). And God will judge you because you wanted to take my castle and my lands (и Господь будет судить тебя за то, что ты хотел забрать мой замок и мои земли; to judge — судить, выносить приговор; because — потому что, так как).»

«No,» he said. «The castle and my lands are ours (замок и мои земли наши). But we must thank Robin Hood for that (но мы должны благодарить Робина Гуда за это).»
The knight stayed in his castle and on his lands (рыцарь остался в своем замке и на своих землях; to stay — оставаться, не уходить), and he worked hard every day (и он много трудился каждый день; hard — сильно, интенсивно; настойчиво, упорно, усердно; to work hard — много работать). At last he had four hundred pieces of gold (наконец, у него было четыреста золотых монет). He said to his wife (он сказал своей жене), «Now I have the money that I borrowed from Robin Hood (теперь у меня есть деньги, которые я занимал у Робина Гуда).
