Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Leòdhas, pronounced [ʎɔː.əs̪], also Isle of Lewis) is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides (an archipelago) of Scotland. The total area of Lewis is 683 square miles (1,770 km2).
Lewis is, in general, the lower lying part of the island, with the other part, Harris, being more mountainous. The flatter, more fertile land means Lewis contains the largest settlement, Stornoway, and three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles. Beyond human habitation, the island's diverse habitats are home to an assortment of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, red deer and seals and are recognised in a number of conservation areas.
Lewis is of Presbyterian tradition with a rich history, having once been part of the Norse Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.
Sonia Phyllis Hurwitz (January 17, 1933 – August 2, 1998) better known as Shari Lewis was an American ventriloquist, puppeteer, and children's entertainer and television show host. She was best known as the original puppeteer of sock puppet Lamb Chop, first appearing on Hi Mom, a local morning show that aired on WRCA-TV (now WNBC-TV) in New York City.
Lewis was born as Sonia Phyllis Hurwitz to Ann Ritz and Abraham Hurwitz, an education professor at Yeshiva University. She had one sister. Her parents encouraged her to perform and her father, who had been named New York City's "official magician" by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia during the Great Depression, taught her to perform specialized magic acts by age 13. She also received instruction in acrobatics, juggling, ice skating, baton twirling, piano, and violin. She was taught ventriloquism by John W. Cooper. She continued piano and violin at New York's High School of Music and Art, dance at the American School of Ballet, and acting with Sanford Meisner of the Neighborhood Playhouse. She attended Barnard College, but left after one year to go into show business.

La légende Carl Lewis demande aux athlètes de s'engager contre le dopage
I went to a movie with some girlfriends of mine
I saw a handsome boy on the ticket line
He followed us up into the balcony
& he sat down right beside me
(male voice): Hey girl, what's your name?
(Shirley): Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
(male voice): My name's Steve, what's yours?
(Shirley): Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
I really wanted to meet that guy
But it wasn't right & so I acted shy
Right in the middle of a kissing scene
He brought me a drink from the soda machine
Steve: Come on baby, let's leave this place
Shirley: Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
Steve: Oh come on, come on, let's go
Shirley: Oh well, all right
He seemed so nice I decided to go
He took my hand & said "Let's go"
Now we go together to the movie show
'Cause he's my guy & I dig him so
We sit way back in the balcony
But when I wanna talk he says to me
Steve: Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
Shirley: Oh please, come on, Steve
Steve: Oh come on, let me watch it
Shirley: Plese, let's...
Steve: It's just about over
Shirley: But I wanna walk with you
