"But Dad," Jamie tried to explain in his defence, "I was only fooling. I wasn't really going to do it!"
May 11th is Archery Day, and several kids were out practicing their skills... All their arrows had hit the bullseye, and Ringo was impressed. "You two are really good." "Thanks. But this is really easy and not much of a challenge at all." "I can actually hit an apple at two hundred paces." Ringo was skeptical, "Really? I'd like to see that!" "Well, I just happen to have an apple handy." "Hmmm....Now I just need a place to put it." "And here's the perfect place." "Now, don't move." Lonnie became alarmed. "You aren't really going to try shoot that apple off of his head, are you?" "Who said anything about 'try'? I never miss." But then, right at that moment, Jamie's father arrived at the shooting range, and realizing what his son was about to do, he quickly put a stop to his reckless behaviour.
"But Dad," Jamie tried to explain in his defence, "I was only fooling. I wasn't really going to do it!"

Ringo was being very brave. It's a good thing, though, that their Father came along just in time.

Poor Ringo does look a little apprehensive! He's holding the target like a shield 😟. Jamie's self assurance is funny..."try? I never miss" Thank goodness for parents!

I tend to believe that Jamie was only pulling a prank on Ringo, and not really intending to go through with it. After all, not only would it have been totally reckless and very dangerous on his part, especially considering that not only is Ringo his cousin, but he's also a Prince.
