Once upon a time, there was a small town that was under siege by a group of bandits. The townspeople were afraid and didn't know what to do. That's when a brave cowboy named Jack rode into town.

Jack had a revolver and a rifle, and he was not afraid of the bandits. He told the townspeople that he would help them defend their town. The townspeople were grateful and immediately put Jack in charge of their defense.

The bandits started their attack and Jack led the townspeople in a retreat to a nearby hill. From there, they could see the bandits approaching and Jack told everyone to get ready. He handed out shotguns to the strongest men and told them to shoot at the bandits when he gave the signal.

The bandits got closer and closer, but Jack and the townspeople were ready. When the bandits were in range, Jack shot his revolver in the air and the townspeople started shooting their shotguns. The bandits were caught off guard and started to rout.

Jack and the townspeople continued to shoot, and the bandits were soon defeated. They retreated and never bothered the town again. Jack became a hero and was welcomed with open arms by the townspeople.

From that day on, the town was safe and peaceful. Jack rode off into the sunset, but the townspeople never forgot his bravery and the shells he shot to save their town.
