Php help, getting id, but getting error?

[spyman1o1]

Trying to get the highest id from my database, but it returns as Resource id #3
My code:
$high = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stories ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1");
echo $high;
Thanks, but that also put in the Resource
Thanks, but both of those still give resource

$high = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stories ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1");

echo mysql_result($high,0,'id');
