EXAMPLE:

Robin

Lives in Sherwood Forest where he

Hears about the archery contest,

Sees the evil sheriff as an enemy,

Touches the lives of those he helps,

Needs strength to keep up his fight,

Fears nothing,

Gives money to the poor,

Believes he is doing the right thing,

Dreams about maid Marian,

Loves the feel of a bow in his hands and

Is happy to live in Sherwood Forest.
