[TC] Once upon a time, a hunter

Day 2,181, 13:43 Published in Switzerland Belgium by Tony Clifford


Once upon a time, a hunter journeyed the few kilometres from Bürglen to Altdorf, Uri’s main town.

As he walked through the town square, he ignored the hat of the bailiff, which was placed on a pole.



The bailiff wanted the hat to represent his authority and demanded that everyone who passed should bow before it. Failure to do so was tantamount to treason.

The hunter was arrested for his snub and the bailiff threatened to execute him...

...you know how it ende😛



Since then, in Switzerland, it was forbidden for a single man to rule above others.
