descended from the african wildcat and they used to catch vermin the first historical human record about cats could be found in ancient egyptian civilization s culture we all seem to relate cats with egyptians because of their adoration and consideration of cats as gods mafdet was the first known cat deity and was regarded as the protector against snakes scorpions and evil during the first dynasty so for them cats were not just deities but also protectors later after the egyptian dynasty collapsed cats became popular everywhere greeks and romans used them as pest control and in the east cats were originally owned by rich and wealthy people but during the middle ages in europe cats became associated with superstition and suspected of carrying the disease during the black death of 1348 that is the reason why too many cats got killed in that era and it wasn t until the 1600s that cats reputation started to recover in america cats were part of the cargo on the colonization ships to minimize vermin and disease so those cats went ashore and flourished nowadays cats seem to be one of the pop icons in modern society we have about half of a billion among us and since 2002 thanks to the international fund for animal welfare cats have their own holiday effective since august 3 2020 the leading cat welfare charity international cat care became the custodians of international cat day since 1958 they ve challenged cruelty ignorance and misunderstanding to affect positive change in the lives of cats with an estimated global population of 600 million cats half of which are

sometimes doing the right thing is worth a risk gottfried quickly looked around and reminded them please comrades keep thoughts like that to yourselves until we are alone only the suspicion of us changing sides could cause an investigation and our death shut up for god s sake theodor looked at him you know something we don t right gottfried mumbled i have no idea what you re talking about for quite a big part of the way they just quietly rode toward their troop and rupertus leaving an incredible and horrible adventure behind them and with every step they took away from göschenen and the mountains the event with the bridge seemed to be more and more like a dream they rode directly to their commander and found the space deserted except for a boy dozing in the corner heidenreich walked over to him and carefully woke him up boy what is going on here the little one about twelve years old jumped up and replied rupertus told me to stay here and wait for the group with theodor is that you theodor walked closer i m theodor do you have a message for us the boy nodded yes mister rupertus said you are supposed to immediately take care of your horses and then walk over to the city center where the stone fountain is he needs you there no delay theodor nodded thank you boy siboto looked at them why don t i take care of all the horses together with the boy here and you go ahead i ll follow you as soon as we re done the boy beamed truly i can help you siboto smiled you can and earn a silver coin if you hurry to get the work done the boy nodded enthusiastically i have two brothers outside they can help theodor and the others didn t hear anymore they hurried over to the city center rupertus looked at them when they arrived and nodded in a friendly way boys good to have you back konrad frowns you re not in uniform what is going on here rupertus nodded i ll explain later for now i want us all to keep a low profile with what gessler has planned to humiliate these villagers i don t want to show up on the wrong side the villagers are going to hate not only the squire but also his helpers theodor looked around and discovered a long stick most likely about ten feet high planted into the ground on its left and right were two uniformed soldiers each carrying a spear and an axe and each with a stupid smug face theodor s face grew increasingly irritated when he saw the hat on top of the stick it was quite a deformed old hat and theodor swallowed the soldiers insisted that everyone who passed the hat had to salute it the situation was surreal the hurt and personal insult were thickening the air pain and rage could be felt just beneath the surface rupertus sadly shook his head that scenario is going to break gessler s neck gottfried whispered didn t you send a report to the authorities rupertus nodded they sent the messenger back telling me to continue watching and reporting my report recommended replacing gessler immediately i guess today they will have to face reality and that watching and reporting was the wrong decision in this case heidenreich sighed you all feel that tension don t you the group nodded rupertus asked the men how was your trip to the mountains bechtold replied wearily interesting and fascinating we also met quite a few nice people rupertus smiled so did i a strong willed group of men in particular but we re going to talk about that later i m hot and would need a swim summer here by the lakes is much cooler than in the hot castles of monacum or vindobona theodor chuckled i ll be ready for a refreshing jump into the lake too but he was interrupted by an event developing right in front of them i will not greet nor bow to that hat i won t allow anyone to insult or humiliate me a man said he was dressed like one of the other peasants and farmers and held the hand of a six year old boy who was clearly his son the soldiers informed him with smug faces and obvious signs of superiority everybody has to greet the hat no exception or will be arrested rupertus sighed there we are theodor stared at him you expected something like that didn t you rupertus nodded i did in fact i m surprised it took that long i admit gessler the idiot still thinks he can ridicule these people by treating them the way he did he has caused hate and a need for revenge that will most likely end in a rebellion and i could imagine it costing gessler his life heidenreich sighed you think they would go that far rupertus nodded i m afraid they would go even further you cannot humiliate hurt torture and bully people over decades and longer and not expect to face an explosion at one point while they were whispering the scene in front of them got pretty nasty the guards insisted that the man greet the hat he refused and as gessler s men grew louder and slightly nervous the man stayed calm straight and proud until there was movement on the other side of the fountain the crowd parted and gessler on his horse slowly got closer what is going on here his booming voice echoed from the stone walls surrounding them one of the guards came forward and saluted squire i m your man at arms this man refuses to greet the hat gessler frowned and why the discussion my orders are clear greet the hat or face the dungeons he stared at the man in front of him who held the boy by his side the boy didn t cry or show any sign of fear proudly he stood by his father s side gessler looked at the two then he said you re tell right the man nodded but remained silent impatiently gessler descended from his horse i remember you wilhelm tell right i recognize you from the hunt you are considered one of the best hunters from close and far absolutely infallible with the crossbow the provincial governor wandered up and down in front of the crowd and then his eyes fell upon the boy your son tell nodded my youngest gessler s mouth turned into a malicious grin fine i ll give you one chance to avoid the dungeons after all you re a provider and need to take care of your family i m no monster and with the next words he just proved the opposite i d like you to do a little demonstration for me he wandered around grinning then he took an apple from the basket of a farmer s woman threw it in the air and caught it again then he continued i want you to shoot this apple from your son s head if you succeed you will be free to go tell stared at gessler his face a mask of stone but his eyes were full of disgust and hate gessler wanted to grab the boy s arm but tell hissed a couple of words that couldn t be heard by the surrounding crowd gessler stepped back and laughed a bit insecurely fine fine do what you think is necessary tell carefully led his son over to a tree on the other side of the village center spot there he placed him with his back against the tree went down on one knee and with his big hands on the boy s shoulders quietly talked to him the onlookers heard the boy answer tell the father got up briefly addressed his son s hair then he grabbed his crossbow and walked back to gessler who took a few steps to the side he carefully examined his crossbow then took two bolts from the quiver and expertly loaded his weapon gessler s eyes never left tell a mixture of respect and fear in blue irises tell lifted the crossbow aimed concentrated shot and nailed the apple on top of his son s head to the tree behind the boy the crowd was still completely silent the boy stood there without moving but he smiled proudly gessler stared at tell and slowly said ah well done indeed well done tell didn t reply his eyes were on his son but just when he wanted to walk over to his son gessler grabbed his arm and with his loud voice crowed but you have to explain to me one thing why the second bolt you prepared two bolts why the second one tell proudly looked into gessler s eyes and replied honestly if i had accidentally hit my son the second bolt was for you if i had killed my boy you d be dead gessler apparently waited for something like that rebellion you threatened to kill me outrageous that means the dungeon he gestured for the guards to arrest tell at that moment the boy screamed and ran forward father father heidenreich held out his arm and caught the boy he lifted the child up and held his mouth shut but at the same time he whispered into the boy s ear calm down little one calm down your father does what he has to do you don t want to cause any trouble do you the boy shook his head his eyes wide in shock and fear heidenreich nodded very good boy i will take my hand off your mouth now promise me not to scream not to yell for your father do you understand the boy nodded slowly heidenreich removed his hand and the boy quietly said but father did what he said and they are still taking him he burst out in tears heidenreich patted the boy s back it will all be good boy you ll see do you know where your mother is the boy sobbed and sniffed home heidenreich hid a smile do you know where home is the boy nodded heidenreich placed the child comfortably on his arm then show me the way let s take you home he looked at his comrades and they nodded rupertus whispered meet us at the stables later heidenreich nodded turned around and disappeared in the meantime gessler s henchmen had removed tell and the crossbow and were loading him into a boat by the lakeshore rupertus and his men heard gessler giggle the poor idiot really believed he d go free that s what you do with these stubborn headed rock heads you lock them up he ll be taken over to the dungeons let s ride back it looks like rain the crowd slowly walked away and rupertus collected his troops and took off i don t want to be seen by gessler not if it s avoidable they quickly disappeared blending in perfectly with the villagers protected by the people wilhelm tell saw the falling clouds and the darkening sky it was only the afternoon in the middle of summer he knew the weather and the lake he tried to reason with the guards we will face bad waters he told them i agree to walk with you but on the lake it is going to be dangerous for us all but they didn t listen we are faster on the water as soon as we re out on the water you can t escape anymore and can help us row tell didn t reply they were out on the water for barely half an hour when the storm broke loose the rain poured down they were soaking within only a few minutes without hesitation they untied tell and demanded that he help them row tell nodded i m experienced i ll stay in the back steering the boat where it s safe the storm hit even harder they could not see their hands in front of their eyes while the guards concentrated on getting the boat through the water as fast as possible tell carefully steered the boat as close to the shore as possible until he saw the rock he was waiting for he secretly reached behind him and while the guards focused ahead he safely drew his crossbow and unsheathed it along with the quiver and bolts then he grabbed his oars again and let the boat shoot forward right below the flat rock he let go of the oars stood up jumped onto the boat frame then he pushed his body away from the boat and took an almost inhuman leap onto the rocky plateau the boat disappeared dangerously pushed back into the waters by tell s leg shove behind a wall of rain and darkness tell heard the guards scream but then he smiled he sure didn t wish them harm they followed their orders but while they believed themselves to be drowning in a summer storm not used to bad weather conditions tell had often enough worked outside in the fields in rain and snow he had hunted in weather like that to feed his family they had underestimated him and he ...
