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 youthe happiness of music—the hom(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.
So goes the legend(传说）of the hom. First known in the ninth century, the hom was used by herdsmen to call cattle, for its deep tones echoed across the mountainsides. Even today, on a quietsummer evening, its music can be heard floating among the peaks.

2、The boy choose to drink the glass offered by the last old man because the boy was thirsty.
