“Why did you miss your chance, you would have won this race. Don’t you know the prize money” my friend growled at me. Other day… When I was coming back after registering for the race, I heard a cute voice,“Daddy, you will win this race right? I will go to school again isn’t it?” the kid asked excitedly.“Yes, son we will” he replied as he hugged him fighting his tears. “You see, over there my friend. That is true happiness...
She stands before youSo sincereHer heart is on displayCradled in her outstretched handsHeld so tenderly You melt to see her standing thereYou want so to believeAnd to accept her offeringYour hands begin to reach And as you do she pulls awaySaying "you must play the game"And takes you to a tableWhere sit three shells, all the same She sets one shell atop her heartAnd shuffles them aboutAnd under which shell her heart liesY...

Mike hung by his toes at the edge of the quarry. He took a deep breath and pictured himself diving into the milky water 20 feet below. The water was said to be 50 feet deep at its center but neither he nor any of his friends knew how deep the water was just below the cliff.
