Tell __13__ Gessler not to have him make this test of his skill, for he became so __14__. What if his son should move? What if his hand should __15__? What if the arrow should not carry true? Gessler said, "If you __16__, my soldiers shall kill the boy before your eyes."
Then Tell fitted the arrow to his bow. He took __17__, and let it fly. The boy was still there on his feet. He was not afraid, for he was quite __18__ about his father's skill. The arrow flew through the air. It hit the apple right in the center, and __19__ it away. The people who saw that shouted with __20__. And not long after this, Tell shot Gessler with one of his arrows; thus he set his country free.
