The first two archers, Sir Quentin of Durward and Robin of Sherwood, successfully hit the apple to the cheers of the crowd.

    A tournament of

    archers is held in the


    medieval England…
    The rule of the tournament
    is simple: contestants have
    to hit the apple placed on
    the head of the man.
    The first archer shoots his
    arrow and hits it!
    The crowd cheers wildly!
    “What’s your name?” asks
    the herald.
    “I’m Sir Quentin of Durward,” the archer
    answers.
    The next archer hits the apple too!
    People greet him with loud whistles and
    catcalls.
    “What’s your name, sir?” asks the herald.
    “I’m Robin of Sherwood,” the archer replies.
    And the third archer shoots and the arrow hits
    the man in the eye.
    The shocked crowd is in dead silence.
    “What’s… your… name???” asks the horrified
    herald.
    “I’m…I’m Sor-r- ry!!!”
