Displaying specific lines in a file.

I'm trying to figure out how to display a certain line in a text file. I keep getting references to Tail and Head, and I know how these work, but i'm lost on how to find say the third out of the five lines and display only that.

I thought maybe grep could help, but that doesn't seem likely.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
