A hero is usually brave, and quite often good-looking.
Rich is a wonderful bonus, kind is great, and of high social status (ie prince) is gorgeous.
Sometimes, though, all you want in a hero is for him to be someone...
...well, someone quite like you.
Someone not too bright; someone who spends most of the time wondering what on earth's going on...
...someone all-too-easily tempted...
...and then, of course, all he needs is rescuing.
Word To Use Today: sorcerer. This word comes from the French sorcier, from the Latin sors, which means lot (ie the sort of lot you cast, as in a lottery).
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Der Zauberlehrling) is a poem by Goethe written in 1797. It was almost certainly based on a story by Lucien written in around 150 AD.
