High in the Swiss Alps many years ago there lived a lonely shepherd boy who longed for a friend to share his evenings. One night he saw three wrinkled old men each holding a glass. The first said, "Drink this liquid and you shall be victorious in battle."
The second one said, "Drink this liquid and you shall have countless riches."
The last man said, "I offer you the happiness of music - the horn."
The boy chose the third glass. Next day he came upon a great horn, ten feet in length. When he put his lips to it, a beautiful melody floated across the valley. He had found a friend. So goes the legend of the horn. Known in the ninth century, the horn was used by herdsmen to call cattle, for the deep tones echoed across the mountainsides. And even today, on a quiet summer evening, its music can be heard floating among the peaks.

A police officer stopped a motorist for zigzagging on the highway. As the man was obviously intoxicated, he took him to the station for a drunken-driving test.

"Have I got a flat tire Am I a pump " the man questioned with a puzzled look.

Hero
Mariah Carey
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
Chorus
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
