Once upon a time, there was a famous sharpshooter named Jack. He had a talent for hitting targets from far away using his trusty rifle. One day, Jack received a telegram inviting him to a contest to see who could hit the most targets in one day. Jack accepted the challenge and headed in the direction of the contest.

When he arrived, he saw that the other sharpshooters were all aiming at pheasants in a field. Jack thought to himself, "I can do better than that," and took aim at a quintuple feat. He hit five targets in quick succession, impressing everyone in attendance.

However, the opposite happened when it was time for the next round. Jack's shots missed the mark and he began to feel discouraged. But then, he remembered the tale his grandfather told him about always staying true to your talent. With renewed confidence, Jack took aim and hit every target with ease.

The crowd cheered as Jack was declared the winner of the contest. From that day on, Jack's fame spread far and wide as the greatest sharpshooter of all time.

The end.
