The Golden Children

· A fisherman catches a golden fish that promises him a castle filled with an endless cupboard in return for throwing him back in the water. The catch is that he can't tell anyone where his newfound wealth comes from.

· His wife nags him until he cracks and spills the beans. The castle disappears and they're back to living in a crummy little hut.

· He catches the same fish, makes the same promise, and breaks it again. The third time he catches the fish, it doesn't try to bargain, but tells the fisherman to take it home, cut it into six pieces, and give two to his wife, two to the horse, and bury two in the ground.

· The fisherman does this, and his wife gives birth to two boys, the horse has two foals, and the garden yields two lilies. Everything is golden, like, literally: the horses, boys, and lilies are gold-colored.

· The boys part ways, telling their father that the lilies will predict their health.

· One boy dons a bearskin in order to pass through a forest safely, and then marries a maiden (whose father, upon learning that he's not really that hairy but is actually golden, approves of the match all the more).

· The boy goes hunting, but is turned to stone by a witch. The other brother sees the lily droop, and goes to rescue his brother.

· The one brother returns to his wife, and the other brother returns home to their father, who was watching the lilies carefully to see that they both were healthy.

Making a caching trip with Robespierre50 into the hills above Nederland to escape the heat. Sort of worked. Just 80s instead of high 90s. Climbing the edge of the road is getting harder. SL
