Robin Hood’s Golden Prize is Child ballad 147.
Robin Hood disguises himself as a friar and begged from two priests. They said they had no money. He forced them to remain with him and pray for money. When several hours had passed, he searched them and found five hundred pounds. He left them fifty pounds apiece for praying so earnestly.
Howard Pyle altered this to a tale about Little John in his The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
