This very true story I would like to share with you.

He whistled at lunch and again at break. Then when the day was over, whistled to he gate.
Ted whistled each and every day, and it got to the point where his co-workers, his whistling they did hate.
One day a co-worker approached Ted and asked
Why do you constantly whistle?

Don’ t you know it almost drives me mad? Well Ted said, ‘Whistling is my reliever, my stress remedy, for as long as I whistle my friend, dark days do not follow me.’
The co-worker smiled at Ted and thanked him so and told Ted.
You have helped me find a better path to go. The story I have told is so very true and if you hear a whistler very near to you; I hope the moral of this story will be of help to you.
