Re-tail of hitting the target

 

Hitting the target

As the archer walked to grab his bow in an arrow. His heart beat fast. As he was getting closer to the stadium he was telling himself “I can do this, I've practiced time and time again for this exact moment” He pulled back the arrow and then released it. The crowd went wild as the arrow shot the middle of the middle. 

After the archery competition he walked away with a smile and a first place medal around his neck, an eldery man approached him and informed him that he was not the best in the country and he knew of someone far better than him. “You may be good at archery, but certainly not the best in the country,” the old man informed him. “You're bluffing, I've been practicing almost my whole life from dawn till dusk and you say I'm not the best in the country?” exclaimed the archer,” The old man knew the archer was stubborn so he wouldn't believe him without some stone proof, “you don’t have to believe me, but if you want some proof i'll take you to the farm house right now!”

The archer agreed and the both walked to the farm house, along the way the archer was in shock, could there really be someone far better than himself?! “What is this archer's name?”

The archer asked “James, and may I ask what your name is?”,  “Benjamin, the BEST in the country,” The archer snapped, the old man let out a little laugh and they kept on walking.

Benjamin and the old man arrived at the farm house, they both walked in the house but no one could be seen, Benjamin started looking around the house out of the corner of his eye he saw James from the window shooting arrows at the targets, he missed the target, Benjamin laughed that the old man and said “see, i told you he wasn't the best archer in the country. “Look again,” the old man snapped back. “BULLSEYE!” James yelled with excitement. Benjamin went bright red with embarrassment. “I'm still not convinced that James is better than me,” Benjamin argued as they walked out of the house to see James.

Benjamin introduced himself, “Hello, My name is Benjamin, the best in the country” He said giving James an evil glare. “I'm sure I don't need to introduce myself as my Dad would have probably told you all about me” James said ignoring the glare. Benjamin just stood there for a while just observing how James did things until he finally gained enough confidence to ask “So what are your techniques, how do you get a bullseye almost every time?” James shot his target and showed him”

“Firstly I shoot at a blank target” James began, Benjamin had a very complexed look on his face as Jams kept taking “I draw my arrow and shoot” The arrow hits the middle and Benjamin just rolled his eyes and mumbled “I get it you can shoot perfectly” James ignored this comment and carried on explaining “Once my arrow has hit the target I grab the paint and paint where I think I can shoot the easiest” Benjamin was even more confused than he was before “Isn't that cheating?” He asked, “You do things your way and I'll do things my way,” James replied. Benjamin was ready to give up on his dream of being the best archer, until he realised that since James is cheating he is still the best in his country.
