"This is mine," said the man rich in possessions. "And this is mine and this is mine, and soon I will buy more."

"But what if you are no more," asked a voice. "Who will it all belong to?"

The Sweetest Scent

When a coal miner was asked, "What is the sweetest scent," he replied, "Pure fresh air, something people take for granted unless they've been deep in a coal mine."

When an adorable six year old girl was asked what the isweetest scent is, she said, "It is the scent of my bubble bath."

When asked the question, a baker replied, "The scent of freshly baked bread."

A surfer said, "The salt spray from the ocean."

A prisoner answered, "The scent of freedom."
