A father and son are walking in the mountains when the son stumbles. He cries out "Ahhhh" and is surprised when the voice is repeated in the mountains "Ahhhh". "Who are you?" he shouts and gets back"Who are you?" in return. Angry at this mockery, he shouts "Coward!" and immediately hears the voice"Coward!"

Now surprised, he turns to his father for some explanation. The father smiles and says "Watch me." Then he shouts "I admire you!". Back comes the voice "I admire you!". He shouts again "You are a champion!", only to be greeted with "You are a champion!". The boy looks even more puzzled.

The father explains "People call this 'Echo'. But really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything that you say or do".
