High in the Swiss Alps many years ago, there lived a lonely shepherd(牧羊人)boy who longed for a friend to share his evenings. One night he saw three old men, each holding a glass.
The first old man said:“Drink this liquid and you shall be victorious in battle.”
The second old man said:“Drink this liquid and you shall have countless riches.”
The last old man said:“I offer you the happiness of music—–the horn(号角).”
The boy chose the third glass, The next day, he came upon a great horn, ten feet in length, When he put his lips to it, a beautiful melody(旋律) floated across the valley. He had found a friend.
