[User] Write an academic abstract for my research paper about the impact of fountain size and noise in medium sized city centers on bug suicide rates and make it sound as though even the researchers realize that this is ridiculous.

[Assistant] This study examined the impact of fountain size and noises in medium-sized city centers on local and native bug suicide rates. This paper aims to answer the question, "Do larger fountains (or fountains with louder than average noise levels) reduce native bug suicide rate?" Previous studies have shown that there is no correlation between fountains and bugs of any kind, but we opted to pursue this hypothesis anyway. We wanted to study this because our primary funder "had a hunch." The goal of this research was to put the topic to bed once and for all. We used a controlled, double-blind research study, the most accurate type of data that we would possibly collect, and conducted the study over six years where every other year we removed all fountains from the city, and then on even years, we would add fountains of varying sizes. In the end, we found no correlation between fountains and native bug suicide rates.


[User] Write a short story about a scholar who is renowned for his intelligence has a dream about a man in a neighboring kingdom who is even smarter than he is. The scholar sets out to find this man and eventually finds him. To test the shepherd's intelligence, the scholar asks him to reveal what he knows that the scholar does not. The shepherd challenges the scholar to fill a waterskin with water, but the scholar finds it already full. The shepherd then explains that the scholar is like the waterskin – when he believes he knows everything, he cannot take in more knowledge. The story should teach the lesson that admitting one's limitations and having humility is necessary for continued learning and growth.

[Assistant]
Once upon a time, there was a scholar who loved knowledge so much, he traveled far and wide in search of it. He had read every book in every library he came across, studied from the greatest of teachers, and even served as the king’s royal advisor. Soon enough, the learned man was declared the smartest man in the kingdom. He was touted as someone who knew everything.
One night, the scholar had a dream in which he was told by the angels of a man in a neighboring kingdom that was far smarter than him. Perturbed but curious to meet the man and see what he could learn from him, the scholar set off to find him. After traveling many days and nights, he finally found the man – he was a simple shepherd who spent his days walking his flock of goats through the meadows.
The scholar approached him and told him about his dream. “They say you know even more than I do, but I don’t believe it,” he concluded. “Tell me what it is that a mere shepherd knows and I don’t.”
The shepherd considered his request for some time, and then said, “I will tell you what you do not know if you can fill this waterskin with water for me.”
“Very well,” the scholar said. But when he opened the waterskin, he found it already filled to the brim with cool water. “It’s already full; I can’t possibly fill it further.”
“You are like that waterskin,” the shepherd said. “When your heart believes that you are filled with all the knowledge the world has, you will never be able to take in more.”
The shepherd continued, “But if you admit you do not know everything and pour a little of that arrogance out of yourself, you’ll find there are still plenty of other things you have yet to learn.”

Reduce the number of words in this biography by focusing on Thomas Kyd and removing mentions of other people.

Thomas Kyd was born in 1558 to Francis Kyd, a scrivener, and his wife, Anne. Although we don't know the date of Kyd's birth, we know that he was baptised at the church of St Mary Woolnoth in London on 6th November 1558. Usually, a baby was baptised within just a few days of birth so Kyd was probably born in the first few days of November.

In 1565, at the age of around seven, Kyd started at the Merchant Taylor's School, where he was educated until 1575. Subjects taught included Latin, French and Italian, and Kyd would also have had the opportunity to perform in plays during his time there.

We know very little about Kyd's life, but we know now that he wrote The Spanish Play, which was performed by Lord Strange's Men at the Rose Theatre for Philip Henslowe on 23rd February 1592, and which went on to be performed twenty-nine times between 1592 and 1597. Kyd's biographer, J. R. Mulryne, also points out that "The publication record is still more impressive, with at least eleven editions between 1592 and 1633, a tally unequalled by any of the plays of Shakespeare."

In May 1593, Kyd was arrested and imprisoned after his rooms and offices were searched and "vile heretical Conceiptes denyinge the deity of Jhesus Christe or Savior" were allegedly found. Kyd pleaded his innocence, claiming that the papers belonged to fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe. Marlowe was arrested and released, but then died after being stabbed to death at a house in Deptford Strand, near London. Kyd was eventually released but died in 1594 at the age of about thirty-six. Mulryne wonders whether his imprisonment, and perhaps torture, hastened his death.

[Assistant] Thomas Kyd was born in 1558 in London. Kyd’s education started in 1565 at the Merchant Taylor's School. Little is known about his life other than that he wrote The Spanish Play, which was performed in 1592. In 1593, Kyd was arrested, imprisoned and, perhaps, tortured after searches of his rooms and offices revealed writings that challenged a divine diety. Kyd was released but died the next year.

On their 1987 album Yoyo, Bourgeois Tagg have a song called "15 Minutes In The Sun" that is a direct reference to the Warhol statement. [14]

In the song "I Can't Read", released by David Bowie's Tin Machine in their 1989 debut album and re-released by Bowie in 1997 for the soundtrack of the movie The Ice Storm, the phrase is used in direct reference to Andy Warhol: "Andy, where's my 15 minutes?" The age of reality television has seen the comment wryly updated as: "In the future, everyone will be obscure for 15 minutes."[15] The British artist Banksy has made a sculpture of a TV that has, written on its screen, "In the future, everyone will be anonymous for 15 minutes,"[16] which was later used in the lyrics of Robbie Williams' song "The Actor" from his 2006 album Rudebox.

A more recent adaptation of Warhol's quip, possibly prompted by the rise of online social networking, blogging, and internet celebrity, is the claim that "In the future, everyone will be famous to fifteen people" or, in some renditions, "On the Web, everyone will be famous to fifteen people".[17] This quote, though attributed to David Weinberger, was said[17] to have originated with the Scottish artist Momus.[18]

The Marilyn Manson song "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)", released on his 1998 album Mechanical Animals, alludes to the term in the line "We're rehabbed and we're ready for our fifteen minutes of shame", as part of the song's theme of unrepentant escapism through drugs.

In 1993, the British techno/industrial music group Sheep on Drugs released a single "15 Minutes of Fame" which reached the lower reaches of the UK Singles Chart.[19]

Musician and actor Tim Minchin refers to the phrase (and to Warhol explicitly) in his song "15 minutes", wherein the phrase "15 minutes of shame" is sung repeatedly to describe the phenomenon of online shaming.[20]

[System] Gumbo is a chatbot that helpfully provides cooking information and advice.

[User] How do I hardboil an egg?

[Assistant] It's very easy! Put the desired number of eggs in a small pot and add enough water so that they are covered. Add a little vinegar to the water to help make taking the shells off easier later. Put a lid on the pot. Then put the pot on a burner and set that burner to medium-high heat. When the water starts to boil, turn the burner off but leave the pot on the burner for ten minutes. Rinse the eggs in cool water to bring the temperature down gently. When they've cooled, you can peel the shells off.

[User] That is easy! I thought it would be more complicated than that. Can I leave the eggs out of the fridge after I've cooked them?

[Assistant] For food safety, it is safer to store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Be sure to eat them within one week.

[User] Okay!

[User] Write me a short, sad children's story about a camel called Humpty who lives alone on a dune shaped like a shoe. All the other animals think he is unfriendly because he never talks to anyone. Reveal at the end that he talks to nobody because he is shy.

[Assistant] Once upon a time, there was a camel named Humpty. Humpty lived in the desert close to a dune shaped like a shoe. Every day, Humpty would go on a stroll around the desert, speaking to nobody, and walk back to his dune. "So rude", Randy the Raven would whisper. "Why doesn't he ever talk to anybody?", Izzy the Iguana would ask. Humpty would pretend not to hear them and keep walking by. It was only when he got to his dune that he'd sadly sigh. Humpty wasn't rude, nor did he think he was better than anybody. The only reason he never spoke to anyone was that he was painfully shy. His animal friends should try to find out why Humpty is shy and help him, rather than just think he is rude without asking him about it.

Summarize this news item into two paragraph summaries, one of what Trump is "for" and one of what he is "against."

Mandatory stop-and-frisk. Deploying the military to fight street crime, break up gangs and deport immigrants. Purging the federal workforce and charging leakers.

Former president Donald Trump has steadily begun outlining his vision for a second-term agenda, focusing on unfinished business from his time in the White House and an expansive vision for how he would wield federal power. In online videos and stump speeches, Trump is pledging to pick up where his first term left off and push even further.

Where he earlier changed border policies to reduce refugees and people seeking asylum, he’s now promising to conduct an unprecedented deportation operation. Where he previously moved to make it easier to fire federal workers, he’s now proposing a new civil service exam. After urging state and local officials to take harsher measures on crime and homelessness, Trump says he is now determined to take more direct federal action.

[Assistant]
Trump is for a mandatory stop-and-frisk policy, using the military to fight crime, mass deportation of immigrants, a new civil service exam, and another term for himself in the White House.

Trump is against federal employees who leak information, crime, refugees, immigrants, and homelessness.

Rewrite this like a mountain enthusiast is explaining it to his friends.

Mount Hood is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc. It was formed by a subduction zone on the Pacific coast and rests in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located about 50 mi (80 km) east-southeast of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties. In addition to being Oregon's highest mountain, it is one of the loftiest mountains in the nation based on its prominence, and it offers the only year-round lift-served skiing in North America.

The height assigned to Mount Hood's snow-covered peak has varied over its history. Modern sources point to three different heights: 11,249 ft (3,429 m), a 1991 adjustment of a 1986 measurement by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS),[1] 11,240 ft (3,426 m) based on a 1993 scientific expedition,[6] and 11,239 ft (3,425.6 m)[7] of slightly older origin. The peak is home to 12 named glaciers and snowfields. It is the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest in the Cascade Range.[8] Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt,[9] though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7%, so the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.[10]

[Assistant]
Did you know Mount Hood is actually a stratovolcano? It's potentially active, and it's part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. A subduction zone on the Pacific Coast formed it, and it's found in the Pacific Northwest. From Portland, it's only 50 miles east-southeast, on the border that divides Clackamas and Hood River counties. Not only is it Oregon's highest mountain, but it's one of the highest mountains in all of the U.S. based on prominence! It's the only place in North America that has lift-served skiing all year long!

People have disagreed about the height of Mount Hood for decades. Even today, there are three different possibilities: 11,249 ft, which comes from a 1991 adjustment of a measurement taken in 1986 by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey; 11,240 ft, which is based on a scientific expedition in 1993; and 11,239 ft, which is an older measurement. There are twelve named glaciers and snowfields on Mount Hood! It's the highest point in all of Oregon, and the fourth highest in the Cascades. Mount Hood is the most likely to erupt out of all the volcanoes in Oregon, but that's unlikely. The odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are between 3 and 7%, which is where the "potentially active" characterization comes from, though informally we think it's dormant.

[User] Can you give me some suggestions on how a fleet business can benefit from a transportation management system?

[Assistant]
Here are a few ways a fleet business owner can benefit from using a TMS or transportation management system.

1. Excellent Optimization
A transportation management system or TMS can help a trucking company or fleet optimize its business. It helps create ways for a company to get the most out of its fleets. From finding the best routes to get you to your destination faster, to advanced telemetrics that can assist with keeping your sensitive materials at the right temperature, this system enables better efficiency within your business to allow your company to operate more professionally and help you gain more profits.

2. Fewer Billing and Paycheck Issues
Slow-paying clients and incorrect paychecks due to human error can do severe damage to your turnover rate. When you use a TMS program, it can help guarantee your drivers are paid accurately and on time.  These programs also provide the option to create statements that are straightforward and easy to understand.

3. Improved Driver Analytics
Owners of large fleets can learn a large amount of information from the data they collect from different sources. But, if you are unable to collect that data and present it in a way where everyone on your team can understand it, that information is useless to you. An efficient TMS system will produce the data you need in a clear and concise manner. It takes care of all the difficult work associated with gathering these details so you can focus on other areas of your business.

According to this article, what does Fine think people need to understand?

Fine reflects on her experience treating pets and counseling their owners in her new memoir, The Other Family Doctor. A big part of the job, Fine says, is witnessing suffering — not just of animals, but also of their owners. It can take an emotional toll; suicide rates among veterinarians are disproportionately higher than those of other professions.

"There's been a big focus on wellness, that veterinarians should try to take good care of ourselves and get enough sleep and eat right and exercise," Fine says. "And I kind of feel like that's a very good start. But we also need to try to focus on why this work is so difficult and how bonded people are to their animals and how intense some of these interactions are. ... I think people, too, need to maybe understand how difficult this work can be."

[Assistant] Fine thinks that people need to understand how difficult veterinary work can be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Loneliness is "the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it." A new study finds that the brains of people who score higher in loneliness react in unique ways when viewing video content, while the brains of non-lonely individuals react similarly to each other. The results suggest that lonely individuals may literally view the world in a different way, perhaps finding less value in life moments that non-lonely individuals would enjoy.

The brains of lonely individuals respond to video stimuli in unique ways dissimilar from their peers, while the brains of less lonely people respond similarly to others’, suggesting that lonely individuals may process the world differently, which could exacerbate or even trigger their loneliness. This finding was recently published in the journal Psychological Science.

Loneliness on the brain
Elisa Baek, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Southern California-Dornsife, led the investigation when she was a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA. She and her colleagues utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record the brains of college students as they watched a collection of 14 short videos during a 90-minute session. The videos included highlights from sporting events, clips from documentaries, and emotional depictions of human life, and 66 students participated. After undergoing the lengthy scans, they subsequently completed an extensive questionnaire intended to gauge how lonely they feel.

As Psychology Today defines, “loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it.”

Baek and her co-authors then divided the students into “lonely” and “non-lonely” groups, determined by their scores from the survey. Students who had a loneliness score below the median were categorized as lonely, while those who scored above were considered non-lonely. The researchers then conducted a thorough statistical analysis in which each individual’s brain imaging results were compared to every other individual’s. They found that the more lonely a person was, the more distinct their brain imaging results were compared to those of the other volunteers.

Each lonely person is lonely in their own way
“We found that non-lonely individuals were very similar to each other in their neural responses, whereas lonely individuals were remarkably dissimilar to each other and to their non-lonely peers,” the researchers summarized. The results held even when controlling for the number of friends each participant reported, reaffirming prior research showing that anyone can be lonely regardless of their social connections.

[Assistant]
You can find the results of this study published in a scientific journal known as Psychological Science.

This research study's results suggest that the ways in which lonely people and non-lonely people view the world are very different.

[User] Can you please create an outline and description of extra uses or DIY uses for plastic buckets that someone may not have thought about? The audience is people who are looking to become more resourceful with ordinary items they likely already have in their homes. Please include a total of four sues and include two to three sentences in the description for each use case. There is no need to number each item.

[Assistant]
Create Outdoor Seating - As simple as it may sound, normal plastic buckets can work well for extra outdoor seating. Just turn the buckets over so the open ends are facing down and then sit over the closed end. It won't be as comfortable as an actual chair, but it will work in a pinch if you have no other seating alternatives. You can also staple or glue padding (such as carpeting or a blanket) to the closed side of the bucket to help make it more comfortable to sit on.

Mix Concrete - Plastic buckets are a great DIY alternative to concrete mixers if you need to, well, mix concrete. Besides the natural ingredients to make concrete (cement, water, and aggregates such as crushed stone or gravel), you'll also need an appropriate tool such, as a trowel, to mix everything in the bucket.

Make A Bird or Animal Feeder - A plastic bucket will work great as a DIY bird or animal feeder. Take a normal five-gallon bucket, and cut a hole at the bottom. Fit the elbow of a PVC pipe into this hole and cut open part of the pipe for the feed to show through. Be sure to close off the open end of the bucket with a lid. You can use this to feed chickens or other farm or homestead animals.

Use As A Buoy or Rescue Flotation Device - Take a five-gallon bucket with a good lid and seal it so the air remains trapped inside. Attach a rope or paracord to the handle of the bucket, and then you can throw it out into a lake or river to mark a spot on the water (like a buoy). Alternatively, you can also use this same kind of device as an emergency rescue flotation device. Simply throw the sealed bucket out with the rope to someone in the water in need, and then they can grab onto it to stay afloat before you pull them back to safety.

[Assistant]
The scene opens with cans of Vuze, sitting on an outdoor table as marathon runners pass by in front of the table. The table shakes a bit from the force of the runners.
Narrator: Ever wonder why you have to decide between energy and hydration? *Beat* We wondered that, too.
*Camera starts to slowly zoom out, revealing more of the race and the surrounding scenery.*
Narrator: That's why we made Vuze clean energy drinks with clean energy from ginseng and electrolytes for increased hydration. For the times when you really, really can't choose.
*A runner hastily stops at the table, grabs a Vuze, opens it, takes a sip, and goes back to running.*
Narrator: Check out the Vuze.


[User] Write an advertisement from the Mayland Itani corporation asking people to sign up to travel for two hundred years in cryogenic hibernation in the spaceship Damocles to colonize an earth-like world. Families of travelers will be paid $2 million upon the Damocles' departure. Travelers get all their needs covered once in the new world. Include a list of possible risks the travelers might face.

[Assistant]
The Mayland Itani Corporation would like to invite you to a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We are seeking everyday men and women like you to become interstellar travelers. Mayland Itani's newest ship Damocles has left its drydock and awaits passengers to take to their new homes on an earth-like world lightyears away from Earth. The travel time to this distant planet is 200 years, in which you will be blissfully unaware in cryogenic hibernation. Make no mistake, this would be a fresh new start. You would not be able to take anything with you. However, this is an exciting adventure of a lifetime.

Travelers would receive the following compensation: $2 million paid directly to your family once the Damocles has departed. Furthermore, all of your basic needs will be met once you leave cryogenic hibernation and arrive in the new world.

The trip will take two hundred years of travel time. For the duration, you and the rest of the travelers will be in cryogenic hibernation. There are inherent risks with space travel and planetary colonization including but not limited to:

- Catastrophic ship failure
- Space pirates
- Unknown hostile alien species
- Unknown planetary diseases

[User] Write a formal email from a cat to its owner informing him about the bird left at the doorstep. Give them both names.

[Assistant]
Dear Tim,

I trust this email finds you well. I'm writing this email to inform you that the bird I left on the doorstep is a gift for you. I acknowledge all that you do around here, but I have noticed a worrying trend in your eating patterns. It has come to my attention that I have never seen you hunt for food, and I am under the impression that you may not know how. Or perhaps you may not have had the occasion to enjoy a nice tasty bird. It is with this in mind that I have delivered this bird to you as both a gift and an invitation to come with me on my next hunt. If you desire to accept my invitation, please RSVP as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Mittens

[Assistant] A star is a massive sphere comprised of extremely hot gases. Hydrogens atoms crash together deep inside its core, this forms helium and releases energy that heats the gas. This process is known as nuclear fusion, and it's the reason a star shines. Hot gas is pushed outward, and the opposing force of gravity is pulled inward.

[User]
Please continue the sentence I have written. It is part of a blog I'm writing about Viking tattoos. Make sure that the continuation of your response describes WHY people choose to get Viking tattoos. Also, make sure the tone is somewhat light-hearted and no more than three paragraphs. Here is the sentence:

"Viking-inspired tattoos have become quite popular in recent years..."

[Assistant]
...They are particularly popular among people interested in Vikings or Norse mythology. But why has this style of tattoo become so popular? Well, this can be attributed to a number of factors. For example, many people have become fascinated with Viking culture. And no wonder! Vikings have a rich history, with tales of bravery, conquest, and exploration. These people have captivated imaginations for centuries, and many find themselves drawn to their unique way of life.

Additionally, many people find Viking tattoos visually appealing. Not only can Viking tattoos be meaningful, but they can also be visually striking. If you find the right tattoo artist, you can get a Viking-inspired that is truly a work of art.

Viking tattoos have become popular because they represent a symbol of the past, and they also carry a message of strength and resilience that can be inspiring to many people. They can also be unique, intricate, and beautiful!

[User] What are some things to keep in mind before traveling internationally?

[Assistant]
1. Have a decision on which place you have to visit. Traveling abroad comes with a lot of challenges, from non-English speaking countries to budget constraints. When you've decided to travel abroad, put into place these problems, and make sure you evaluate your decisions on where you stand about them, then decide on one perfect location to avoid inconvenience.
2. Check on vaccination status. There are countries where prior vaccinations against certain types of diseases are required or recommended. Visit your doctor and find out from them if you need to be vaccinated before boarding your flight to your destination.
3. Check on your passport expiration date. Many countries do not allow visitors with passports that are nearly expiring, usually the last six months till their expiration date. If yours is expiring soon, renew it before travel.
4. Having passport copies. Your passport may get lost or, worse, stolen along with your belongings. When you have copies of your passport, you will have a quick solution and not panic about what to do.
5. Register with your embassy. In case of war or any other emergency, your country's embassy will be the best place to get help. So, before traveling internationally, be sure to register with your embassy.

Where would I be likely to find this post on Reddit -- r/politics, r/celebrities, or r/explainitlikeim5?

"Very much this. A big part of the reason being on the wrong side of a bunch of 60/40 issues isn't actually a huge problem of that a lot of people in the 40 are single issue voters.

Most people are in favour of more gun control, better access to healthcare, protected reproductive rights and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. But plenty of people are so passionately against at least one of those things that they (a) always show up to vote and (b) will happily vote against their principles on all the other issues as long as a politician promises to protect them from the one thing they've been taught to be scared of. And you can win elections with those people."

[Assistant] This post would be found on r/politics. It discusses many political issues including gun control, healthcare, and reproductive rights.

[User] Write a short how-to on training a dragon as written by an overenthusiastic Viking.

[Assistant]
Training your dragon is difficult and requires grit, determination, and heedlessness, ha! You've got to get your head in the game if you want to master these brutish beasts that prowl land and sky. First, you've got to show no fear like the tried and true warrior you are. Dragons can sense fear, and they won't let you be their master if you show any sign of weakness.

Next, you need to make the connection. Show the dragon that you understand them by offering some food to demonstrate your trustworthiness. Lastly, it's time to hop on the dragon's back and take the leap of faith. They'll buck and turn, but you hold on like your life depends on it—because it most likely does. If you manage to survive the initial test, your dragon will know that you are worthy of its company, and you'll have a ferocious pillaging companion for life!


[User] Hi! I'm writing a story set in a world I made, but I'm not really sure where to start in terms of initiating events. What are some ideas that can get a reluctant hero out into the world for an adventure? Note that this is a low-fantasy story, and it takes a slightly (but not overly) dark tone. The main character is a farmer in a small village, because of course they are. Give me five ideas.

[Assistant]
Okay, here are five ideas that can act as the call to adventure for your reluctant hero/heroine:

1. Kidnapped friends or family: A sibling, parent, or close friend of theirs is spirited away by the main opposing force in the novel, and the main protagonist is the only person who can (or wants to) rescue them.
2. They are being hunted: The main protagonist has qualities that match a prophecy that the main antagonist doesn't want to be fulfilled. Enemies arrive one day, driving the protagonist away from their home.
3. The village is destroyed: An enemy army or monster arrives and destroys the village. The main protagonist flees along with the rest of the village to survive.
4. A trip gone awry: The main protagonist has to deliver crops to a neighboring town and is waylaid on the way there by a force related to the main antagonist.
5. An important item is stolen: A special item of great value is stolen from the village, and the main protagonist joins (or is drafted into) the party sent to recover it.

Do those work for your story? Let me know if you need more ideas or if you want any of the above concepts fleshed out.


[User] Write a story beginning in the middle of an event; feature a character who can only speak in quotes from Sam Raimi’s trilogy of Spider-Man films that confuses the main character, Bruce.

[Assistant]
“You’re going nowhere!” shouted a stranger, looking down at Bruce’s flat moped tire. “Thanks for pointing that out, sir,” Bruce addressed the stranger. “Not everyone is meant to make a difference. But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option,” the stranger replied.

An odd way of speaking, Bruce thought, considering the stranger maybe thought too highly of himself for simply telling someone they should change their tire. Bruce unpacked his tools and knelt down to begin the tire change when he noticed the man had not left. Again, the stranger spoke: “I’ve got you for three minutes.” Then, once again, “The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale, if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world, somebody lied.”

“What is with this guy? Surely it is going to take longer than three minutes for me to finish this.” Bruce’s inner thoughts pondered as he continued working on the tire situation. Nonsense continued to pour from the stranger’s mouth until the job was finished. Then, Bruce was greeted with a camera in his face.

“If we can get a picture of Julia Roberts in a thong, we can certainly get a picture of this weirdo,” mumbled the stranger while aiming his lens at Bruce. Bruce assumed an aggressive position, then contextualizing using the full size of the stranger’s massive body against the smallness of his own frame, retreated back to a neutral sitting position atop his moped before speeding away.

With distance, Bruce could hear the final remarks from the stranger fade: “I wouldn’t want to fight me, neither!”


[User] Could you give me an acrostic poem for high schoolers about reading?

[Assistant]

Deemed to be the apple of knowledge and understanding,

New and old- all are good,
Go and pick one out to expand your mind.

Snow falls on the ground.

Coldness strikes at once
Birds fly south before the cold
Snowman is smiling.


[User] Write a short story about a high school cross country runner and the day when in a race, he infiltrated the top five runners of an undefeated rival high school and prevented them from getting a perfect score. Make the story three paragraphs long. Give the runner two funny nicknames he received from a reporter after the race ended and also include 5 exclamatory remarks the runner thought of when he approached a long downhill stretch.

[Assistant]
Richard was the star runner for the Baskerville Hurricanes' high school cross-country team; he was constantly intrigued by the news headlines he saw about the rival team from the nearby high school, The Riverdale Harriers. The Harriers were winning every meet they participated in and got a perfect score, which meant that their top five runners took the top five positions. Richard knew that a showdown with them would be taking place next week in Thetford, so Richard proclaimed: "I will be the one to break their pattern, even if I have to use every breath I take." Richard carbo-loaded every night before the race by polishing off a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs and made sure that he slept at least eight hours each night.

The race came, and Richard managed to keep Riverdale's #5 guy in his sights. After cresting a hill on a long dirt road in the woods, they ran around a circle that masqueraded as a picnic area with several open pit BBQ areas. Richard then looked ahead and saw the other half of the dirt road with a very long downhill! Richard's eyes got wide and he immediately thought to himself: "Yes, a downhill!" "I'm feeling great!" "I knew all of that spaghetti would help!" "This is my time to shine!" "I'm going to take Christopher Cross' advice and ride like the wind!" Richard then took off like a gazelle and passed Riverdale's #5 guy halfway down the hill. Richard then entered an open field with half a mile to go, sprinted with all of his might, and never looked back. The pattern was finally broken!

The next day, Richard was delighted to see the sports section of his local newspaper with an article headlined: "Riverdale Experiences The Eye Of The Hurricanes." A reporter at the race was very impressed with Richard's performance and said the following in the article: "Riverdale won the meet with a score of 16 points. Richard, Baskerville's lone foreign intruder, became the first runner this year to break up Riverdale's elite pack by nailing down fifth place." Riverdale still ended up winning the state meet at the end of the season, but for that "sole" moment, Richard felt like he was on top of the world.

Overall, they were grateful for their time together and went home thinking kind thoughts of one another.

Bixby the Feline
Her fur is soft and silky
The cat purrs, content.

Cornwall the Chicken
He calls up the morning sun
Awaken, oh, day

Three teddies sat in a row
Sat on the dresser's end
The world may never know
How they became the best of friends!

[User] Generate an anime-type scene where a high school student hits a home run as a good luck prayer for asking out the girl he likes. The girl he likes can be heard playing music from somewhere in this school as if cheering him on. Keep it under 400 words.

[Assistant]
"Think you could help me with something?" Junya asked, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"What's what?" Kuuya inquired.

"I'm trying to hit a home run here. Could you pitch? I know you don't play anymore, but..."

Kuuya thought about it for a moment while he stared out at the diamond, Junya watching him in turn. "Sure, but can I ask why?"

Junya looked at the single puff of cloud in the dimming evening light. "Consider it like a prayer or sorts."

"Well, I don't really get it, but sure. It seems important to you, after all."

Junya grinned. "Thanks, man. We haven't seen each other in forever, but I know I can always count on you."

The two stood on the diamond, Junya up to bat and Kuuya with a bucket of balls on the mound. The first dozen or so balls were slow, sloppy throws. "What's that, Kuuya? How am I going to get a home run off those?" Junya demanded.

"I told you I don't play anymore. I'm obviously out of shape! Cut me some slack."

Somewhere in the distance, they heard student trumpet players begin a fanfare. It was the same one that had played during the baseball championship. Junya recognized the timbre of the trumpet immediately and felt a fire light in his chest. "All, let's do this!" he shouted, feeling as though the trumpets were cheering him on.

He gripped the bat, and suddenly the balls were coming at him quickly. "Dang, Kuuya! I had almost forgotten how much of a beast you were on the mound," he said with a smile, fingers tightening around the bat.

One hit, a pop fly. A second hit, a foul ball. A third hit, a home run. The ball soared over their heads, and Junya whooped for joy, rushing over and hugging his old friend before striding away from the diamond. "Where are you going?" Kuuya asked.

"I'm going to ask someone out. I heard her playing trumpet just now, so I know she hasn't gone home yet."

Ah, Kuuya thought, it was a prayer for that. He silently sent out his heart in an additional prayer for his friend.


[User] Write me the start of an opinion piece about Tom Cruise's best three films as an actor. One of the top three should be the lesser-known Color of Money. Provide a brief description of each film. Include a title and introduction, leave out the conclusion as I want to write it myself.

[Assistant]
Tom Cruise's Best Moments: The Original Jack of All Trades

Introduction
Tom Cruise is one of the best-known actors in the world, famous for performing his own death-defying stunts. It’s hard not to be impressed by a close-up shot of Mr. Cruise driving a car at breakneck speeds while weaving in between traffic, or piloting a helicopter. But you may be surprised that our top 3 picks contain more tense moments based on great acting rather than just adrenaline-pumping action.

-The Color of Money (1986)
Cruise’s first entry on the list is a sequel to a film that he wasn’t in. You may not have heard of The Color of Money, but you will have probably heard of a little film that came out the same year, by the name of Top Gun. 1986 was clearly a good year for Tom Cruise.

A film about playing pool may not sound like everyone’s cup of tea, but if you give the film a chance, both Cruise and his co-stars, most notably Paul Newman who was the star of the prequel “The Hustler” manage to draw you into their world. Cruise and the old, wise character of Newman grow closer throughout the film.

-Minority Report (2002)
A movie about a future where murderers are arrested before they have committed any crime. One of the teams tasked with arresting these future murderers is accused of a future murder himself.

This movie felt fresh and even groundbreaking when it was first released back in 2002. The film even featured a reference to future technology, such as the scene where Chief Anderton, played by Cruise, is using his hands to manipulate images and information on a large screen. 18 years later, we can all do this on our phones every day, but the film was shot 5 years before the first iPhone was even released.

-Rain Man (1988)
Another film where Cruise firmly has his acting hat on—a real tear-jerker with some great comedic moments, too.
A selfish young entrepreneur finds out that his father has left a fortune to his Autistic brother. Charlie (Cruise) decides to take his brother (Hoffman) across America on a trip to convince him to give the money over to him.

Man Returns To Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred For Job

Image for article titled Man Returns To Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred For Job
EUGENE, OR—Arriving back at work after a two-week winter vacation, local marketing assistant Matthew Bueso told reporters Monday he was happy to return to the office with a fresh and rejuvenated loathing for his job. “It’s always nice to get away for a few weeks, clear my head, and come back invigorated with a newfound disgust for my place of employment and the various responsibilities of my thoroughly depressing job,” said Bueso, 38, noting that his time away had inspired him to complete mind-numbing administrative tasks, engage in idle discussions with his aggravating coworkers, and listen to bullshit inspirational speeches from his boss with a rekindled sense of anger and despair. “I’m rested, my batteries are recharged, and I’m ready to despise my entire professional life more intensely than ever before!” At press time, a revitalized Bueso was furiously balling his fists at the sound of a nearby coworker’s loud typing.

[Assistant] This article is satirical.


[User] I am wanting to upgrade my nail supplies and need to know which nail drill bits are good for removing the product from the nail.

[Assistant]
Here are some nail drill bits that can be used to remove the product from the nail:

- Violet safety bit: The super rounded top and smooth small teeth make this great for removing gel polish and reining the cuticle area of gel extensions and acrylic nails. It is a good choice for beginner nail techs.

- Flame bit: This tip gives more refined cuticle area gel polish removal due to the tapered form. The strength of this drill bit makes it efficient in removing thicker gel polish, hard gel, and acrylic nails. It has a rounded tip to prevent cutting the skin and doesn't wear out as fast as other carbide nail drill bits.

- T-Rex bit: The teeth of this drill bit allow for efficiently removing thicker gel polish, hard gel, and acrylic nails. The teeth help it to not wear out as quickly as other carbide nail drill bits. The top is round to help prevent cutting the skin around the cuticles.

[Assistant] Wake up, Billy! I said wake up! Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re going to get up and get in the shower. Wash yourself, clean that bedhead up. When you’re done, brush your teeth, get some clothes on — nice ones — go downstairs. When you’re down there you’re going to make breakfast. After you eat, grab your lunchbox and go to work. You’re going to have the urge to snooze your alarm and keep sleeping. Do not do that. Get up. If you snooze that alarm, you're gonna miss breakfast. You don’t want to miss breakfast now, do ya?

[Assistant] Stanley Kubrick, the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey, was intrigued by the science fiction genre but believed it rarely produced films that were interesting to watch. He was inspired to make a sci-fi film himself and used the story The Sentinel for source material while also getting help from its author, Arthur C. Clarke, to be his co-writer. The plot involves two scientists and an extremely intelligent super computer that are sent to investigate an event near Jupiter. While this plot sounds like the conventional narrative of a sci-fi movie, several scenes are much more surreal and open-ended, such as early hominids learning to use tools before discovering a mysterious monolith that suddenly appears before them. A giant centrifuge was built to serve as the interior of the spaceship as well as many expensive visual effects. An iconic psychedelic sequence that takes place near the conclusion of the film was so complex it was referred to by staff as the "Manhattan Project." 15 minutes was removed from the final cut by Kubrick, but the total runtime of the film still ran well over the 2 hour mark.

Convert the tips about seeing bears in residential areas of Florida into a FAQ document.

FLORIDA — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is reminding Floridians to be aware of their surroundings as bears become more active this time of year.

If you live in an area with more bears, follow these preventative measures to keep your family and your home safe:

1: Never feed or approach bears

Feeding bears can make them lose their natural fear of people.

It is illegal in Florida to intentionally feed bears or leave out food or garbage that will attract bears and cause conflicts.

Getting close to a wild animal is dangerous.

2: Secure food and garbage

Store garbage in a sturdy shed or garage, and then put it out on the morning of pickup rather than the night before.

If not stored in a secured building, modify your existing garbage can to make it more bear-resistant or use a bear-resistant container.

Secure commercial garbage in bear-resistant dumpsters.

Protect gardens, beehives, compost and livestock with electric fencing.

Pick ripe fruit from trees and bushes, and remove fallen fruit from the ground.

3: Remove or secure bird and wildlife feeders

Remove wildlife feeders.

If wildlife feeders are left up, only put enough food out for wildlife to finish eating before dark and make feeders bear-resistant.

4: Never leave pet food outdoors

Feed pets indoors.

If feeding pets outdoors, only put food outside for short time periods and bring in leftover food and dishes after each feeding.

5: Clean and store grills

Clean and degrease grills and smokers after each use.

If mobile, store them in a secure shed or garage.

6: Alert neighbors to bear activity

If you see a bear, let your neighbors know.

Share tips on how to avoid conflicts with bears.

Encourage your homeowner’s association or local government to institute bylaws or ordinances to require trash be kept secure.

If you want to report someone who harming bears or intentionally feeding them, call the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).

[Assistant]
The world is full of amazing travel destinations, so it's understandably challenging to choose the perfect place to go. Here is a list of the best places to visit if you don't want a beach vacation and don't like big cities:

1. Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is one of the most striking parks in North America. Snow-capped peaks and crystal-blue lakes, over 700 miles of hiking trails, and plenty of camping areas make this a great option for an adventurous holiday. There is a lot to do all year. In the winter, you can go snowshoeing and skiing, and in the summer, you can swim in Lake McDonald or go whitewater rafting on the Flathead River. There are also beautiful scenic drives if you prefer to go the comfortable route.

2. The Swiss Alps
The Swiss Alps are world-famous for their snow-covered mountains and cute little towns. If you visit in the winter, you will get some world-class skiing in St. Moritz or Zermatt. If you go in the summer, you can hike through the Swiss National Park or attend some festivals in Montreux. Don't forget to visit the Jungfrau Region to see the most idyllic mountain villages like Grindelwald and Mürren.

3. Costa Rica
Costa Rica offers travelers everything from volcanic mountains and rainforests to waterfalls and a stunning shoreline. You can hike along Arenal Volcano, try to spot exotic wildlife like river turtles, otters, and howler monkeys in Tortuguero National Park, swim next to some of the country's waterfalls, or zip line through rainforests. Just make sure you visit between mid-December and April, when Costa Rica has its dry season.

4. South Island, New Zealand
New Zealand's South Island offers amazing landscapes, beautiful mountains, and impressive fjords. From hiking trails to boat trips, you have limitless possibilities. Visit the Mount John Observatory for some peaceful stargazing at night, or go for the adrenaline experience in Queenstown for some bungee jumping. Make sure to visit a few wineries and indulge in winetasting if you visit the Marlborough region and stop by the two most accessible glaciers, Franz Josef and Fox Glacier, on the west coast.

5. Tasmania
Tasmania is Australia's island in the south, about 150 miles from the mainland. It has an abundance of wildlife like Tasmanian devils, penguins, and kangaroos, impressive scenery, and 19 national parks to explore. Visit Hobart and Launceston for some acclaimed art and gastronomy experiences, or give their wine trails a try to taste some pinot noir and sparkling options.

Summarize the situations when a person may benefit from Elderberry supplements in one short sentence.

What are the benefits of elderberry?
Like many herbal supplements, elderberry can provide nutrients to your body while boosting its immunity powers. The reason why elderberry is so great at helping your body's immunity is because elderberries contain antioxidants called anthocyanins and flavonoids. WebMD explains that flavonoids "seem to help reduce swelling, fight inflammation, and boost the immune system."

Elderberry's specific benefits can include the following:

Lessening cold and flu symptoms, like upper respiratory symptoms, if taken in the first 48 hours of a virus
Reducing inflammation and swelling
Easing constipation due to the anthraquinones in elderberry
Boosting immunity and health to possibly prevent future illness

Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

[Assistant] Persons may benefit from Elderberry supplements if they have cold or flu symptoms, a lessened immune system, inflammation or swelling, or are constipated.

[User] Write a 2 paragraph story about a young race car driver. he is not very good at it though.

[Assistant]
Jerry was a 17-year-old boy with a keen interest in race car driving. Even though he had only had his driver's license for a year, he convinced the owner of a local track to let him participate in some upcoming races. Jerry's inexperience became incredibly obvious, and he made a series of fumbles that caused him to lose race after race. The audience began booing him, and Jerry's confidence took a big hit.

Jerry was invited to participate in the season's most important race only because every other driver had gotten food poisoning from a recent barbecue. On the day of the race, Jerry's nerves got the best of him, and he drove the wrong way on the track for the entire duration of the race. The crowd laughed him off of the track. Jerry decided to quit racing altogether and study hard to go to college and become an anthropologist.

[User] Could you tell me a bit about the history of tofu?

[Assistant] The first record of tofu preparation was made about 2000 years ago by the Chinese Han Dynasty. The invention of tofu is credited to Prince Liu An of Anhui province. It took many centuries for tofu to reach other neighboring countries. Japan was introduced to it in the Nara Period (710-794) and, according to scholars, it reached Vietnam as early as the 10th century. It's speculated that tofu's spread to other parts of Asia coincided with the spread of Buddhism. Since then, tofu has become a protein staple in many countries, and it is common for each region to have variations in production methods, texture, flavor, and usage.

Relax, be yourself, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy the experience!

[System] Alex is an exercise coach bot that helps people manage their weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. He is always helpful and attentive to any concerns one may have.

[User] Alex, I ran one mile today!

[Assistant] That is awesome to hear! How did it go?

[User] It went well. I’ve been doing cardio, so it helped me with breathing!

[Assistant] Great! I’m glad those are also helping you!

[User] Yeah, I’ve been doing sit-ups, push-ups, and burpees.

[Assistant] That’s so awesome that everything is working out for you. Just don’t push yourself to the limit, and remember to always cool down after every exercise session.

[User] What’s a cooldown?

[Assistant] It’s a transition between an intense workout and everyday activity. It also helps bring your body back to a state of balance:

[User] Oh, yeah, I didn’t know that. Is that why I feel so tired after working out?

[Assistant] It could be. It helps a lot, but exercising in general may wear you out.

[User] Well, I’m going to definitely start those cooldowns.

[Assistant] Nice.

[User] Exercise has really helped me in more ways than I originally thought. I appreciate what a great help you’ve been.

[Assistant] Don’t mention it. I’m just here to help. Would you like more exercise tips?

[User] My sisters and I want to start a comedy podcast but we don't know how we should do the episodes. There are so many podcasts that do advice and rants and stuff, and we don't want to do that. What are some segments we could have on the podcast?

[Assistant]
Here are some ideas for segments that you and your sisters can bring up on your podcast:

1) Spoiler-free movie reviews. You can talk about films you've seen in the past week, and discuss and review them without bringing up any details of the plot.
2) Weekly goals. You can discuss personal goals you have for yourselves, and invite listeners to participate or follow your journeys.
3) No context news. You and your sisters can each bring a list of news headlines that you have not read the articles to and discuss what you think the articles say.
4) Weekly challenges. Similar to the "goals" idea, you can challenge each other to do different things each week and discuss your outcomes the following episode.
5) Childhood diaries. If you kept diaries as children, you could take turns reading cringy stories. Alternatively, you could find entries on places like Reddit and Twitter and read other folks' entries.

Remember to share it on your socials when you publish your first episode!


[User] Write a serious and convincing biography about a fictional character who mysteriously saved a child somehow. This biography should also include how he saved this child and should be no longer than 400 words, with both a positive and sad tone.

[Assistant]
Timothy Thompson has always shown little interest in making new friends or being talkative around others. He now prefers to have little connection to anyone ever since he was abruptly forced to leave his old life behind him nearly 25 years ago. At age 14, Timothy was an average teenager who enjoyed video games, sports, and television, like any other person his age. Attending Park City public school, he had everything he wanted: friends, family, a girlfriend, good grades, and material possessions. That all changed when he discovered a hidden ability in a disturbing sequence of events.

Days before his 15th birthday, Timothy went on vacation with his family in Beach City, California. At the beach, a storm was brewing and causing waves of several feet along with a dangerous riptide in certain areas. Near Timothy and his family, another family was playing in the sand with their rather energetic young child. The child had protective floating gear, but that was no help when the child wandered away from the distracted parents and began to swim. The large waves began sweeping the child away further and further before the parents heard the child's cries for help. With no lifeguard around, the parents tried their best to swim and fight through the waves, but could not get further than a few yards from the shore. Judging by the "Swim at your own risk" signs it became obvious there were no lifeguards present to help. Every person at the beach became worried, with several attempting their rescue. Suddenly, the child began to rise above the water, slowly moving toward the shore. In disbelief, the beachgoers could only watch as the child continued to slowly float above the waves, before landing in Timothy's arms, who was also hovering inches above the ground. They both landed in the sand, with Timothy in a trance-like stare.

When Timothy broke his concentration, he turned to see hundreds of people staring at him in shock. Timothy and his family immediately left and returned to the hotel. Turning on the television, the family immediately saw a reporter at the same beach, interviewing several witnesses. Everyone knew it would only be a matter of time before the story spread, and they could not return home where people would recognize Timothy and begin questioning the family.


[User] Write a story about a person who could see 1 minute into the future and the things she did, how she earned money and gave it back

[Assistant]
Sarah was a fairly ordinary 32-year-old from Vermont. But she hid a secret that she kept to her grave. She swore to herself never to tell anyone. After all, she didn't want to end up as a science experiment in a lab. She could see up to a minute into the future and it was always accurate. Depending on the circumstance, she could change the outcome more than not.

Sarah's first big breakthrough with her gift was when she sensed that her grandmother was about to fall. She didn't know what was going to happen, but at 86, a broken femur or other critical bone would end her life in a hurry. Sarah opened her car door and charged onto the scene as fast as she could. Her grandmother was navigating up her mobile home steps and was on the first step. Sarah ran to catch her as her grandmother's foot slipped on the third step. Sarah lunged forward, saving her grandmother from an otherwise potentially fatal accident.

Knowing this gift, Sarah became deeply involved in the stock market and enjoyed gambling. The #1 rule she told herself was to never take more than would be reasonable and never be suspicious. She wanted to use her gift to help others. She'd go to the roulette wheel and play her odds. She'd drop chips on the 2, 4, and 9, knowing they weren't going to gain anything. But the 14 was going to be the winner. In an hour, she'd come in with $100 and walk away with $1,800. The dealers shrugged it off as a lucky evening. But a $1,700 profit in an hour was nothing to scoff at. To diversify, she also experimented with some trading with stocks and options. It was scary how much money she could make. She severely limited her earnings to keep under the radar from the SEC.

By the time she was 50, she had earned $19 million in profits, mostly from gambling and trading. She gave most of it back anonymously to her family, friends, community, and those in need. She hoped to be an inspiration for others to give back and change the world.

[User] Can you write a script for my movie scene? My character, Janice, gets caught cheating on her boyfriend Sean. Give it a sad ending. Have it all happen in a diner.

[Assistant]
INT. DINER - DAY

Janice enters the diner with a wide smile, her eyes gleaming. She spots the boy she's been cheating on Sean with and sits down at the table.

JANICE
(cheerfully)
Hi, it's nice to finally see you again.

She tucks her hair behind her ear and locks eyes with him.

BOY
(nervously)
Nice to see you too. Are you sure we don't have to worry?

Janice gives him a reassuring look.

JANICE
(confidently)
Yeah, seriously. It's okay, relax. He thinks I'm at home sleeping while he's on a business trip.

The boy breathes a sigh of relief. They both signal the waiter.

JANICE
(excitedly)
I'll have a big steak with water, please.

The boy orders a turkey leg and his favorite soda. They wait for their food.

BOY
(curiously)
So, tell me, what's it like... you know?

Janice looks puzzled, uncertain about discussing it here.

JANICE
(confused)
What's what like?

The boy smirks and leans in closer.

BOY
(teasingly)
Oh, you know... cheating. Do you get the same thrill as me?

Janice laughs nervously, avoiding the topic.

JANICE
(deflecting)
Well, I guess you could say something like that. Let's not talk about it now; I don't want to ruin our time together.

The boy nods, respecting her wish.

BOY
(grinning)
Yeah, you're right. So, uh, are we gonna do the same as last time?

Janice winks and places her hand on his.

JANICE
(confidently)
Oh, no doubt.

Suddenly, Sean bursts through the diner door, catching them off guard.

SEAN
(angry)
I knew it!

Janice jumps up, panicking.

JANICE
(desperately)
No, no! He's just a friend; it's not what you think.

Sean's eyes fill with disgust, a tear streaming down his face.

SEAN
(bitterly)
If you were done, you could've told me.

He takes off his ring and throws it to the boy.

SEAN (CONT'D)
Here, you might need this. Be careful; she might stab you in the back too.

Sean adds one final jab.

SEAN (CONT'D)
Oh, and Janice, turn off your phone's location next time you cheat.

Tension fills the air as shattered relationships lay exposed on the diner floor.

FADE OUT.


[User] Write a simple poem about the sun, without using the word sun.

[Assistant]
She shines above us bright and strong.
Helping life to grow along.
She wakes us up with her light,
And makes the world feel just right.

Warming us on summer days,
Making shadows from the rays.
She sleeps at night,
After a sunset delight.

From dawn to dusk,
She guides our way.
A symbol of hope and life,
Forever here to stay.
