Many years ago, a cruel man called Gessler ruled over the people of Switzerland. The people did not like Gessler and they were afraid of him.

One day, Gessler's men put up a pole in the town square and put his hat on the top of it. Gessler gave orders that every man who came into the town must bow down in front of the hat. Everyone obeyed because they were afraid Gessler might kill them. There was one man, though, who was not afraid. This brave man's name was William Tell. When he saw the hat, he stood in front of it and laughed: 'I will not bow down to this wicked man!'

When Gessler heard of this, he was really angry. He decided to punish William Tell. Everyone knew that William Tell could shoot with a bow and arrow better than anyone. Gessler ordered William Tell's son to stand in the town square with an apple on his head. He then told William Tell that he must hit the apple with just one shot of an arrow! 'If you don't hit the apple,' said Gessler, 'my men will kill the boy right in front of you!'

William Tell looked at his dear son and the boy looked back at his father. He was not afraid because he knew his father was the best shot in the land. William Tell fired and the arrow flew through the air. It hit the apple exactly in the middle! Everyone in the square cheered. Then Gessler saw another arrow in William Tell's hand. 'What is the other arrow for?' he asked.

William Tell looked the evil man in the eye and said, 'This arrow was for you if anything happened to my son!'

According to legend, some time later William Tell finally managed to shoot Gessler and set his country free.
