Archery Practice

Written story
The town elders and the Governor were practicing archery. When it was Mulla's turn, he loaded an arrow, fired, and missed the target completely. "That's how my father used to shoot," Mulla announced. He fired a second arrow and missed again. "And that's how my brother shoots." He fired a third arrow, and by pure luck, it hit the bullseye. Mulla puffed out his chest and said, "And that is how I shoot!"
