  Lindyline - Three Heads in the Well

  Jul 4, 202520 minS0

  <p>It's smoking hot today, Tuesday 24th. For June we are breaking all records so far. It's 33 degrees C, 92 degrees F. Although the humidity started high at 77%, it has dropped down to 50 % for which the pets and myself are thankful. Moe and I did not get to do a big walk because of this, however, we did find a pool which kept us cool, at least for a while!</p> <p>This old folktale "Three Heads in the Well" can be found in Joseph Jacobs', English Fairy Tales, 1898 (from Halliwell chapbook - page 158).</p> <p>Have you ever found anything...
