The Two Archers
Long ago there were two archers fabled across the land for their skill. They were almost evenly matched, and one day they decided to have a competition to determine who was the greatest. The winner would be awarded a seat on the king’s council. Jacques, the first archer, was confident in his victory. “I have no need to practice,” he told his friends, “I am obviously the greatest, so I will just relax and wait for my assured victory!” Angus, the second archer, thought differently. “I know I’m a great archer, but I know that if I don’t keep practicing, I will surely fail.” True to their word, Angus practiced every day until the competition, while his rival Jacques relaxed and did nothing.
When the competition arrived, both archers had convinced themselves that they were well prepared. The king had his servants set targets at 50 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet. The archers took their places, and readied their bows. The first shot was rather simple and each archer achieved a perfect score. The second target was more difficult. Both archers hit the middle, but Jacques was not as center as Angus. The last target was extremely difficult, and required a great deal of skill. Jacques’ arrow landed on the 9 ring, the second best score. Angus took his aim, and his arrow achieved another perfect score! The king heralded Angus as the greatest archer of all, and gave him a seat on the council, while Jacques went home regretting how lazy he had been.
Moral: Pride comes before the fall.
