The Three Little Birds

· A king and his two ministers are walking and overhear three maidens saying they'd like to marry one of each of them.

· That's a totally logical way to pick a spouse, so they all get married. Duh.

· The sister who married the king gives birth to beautiful children, two boys and a girl, while the king is away.

· The other sisters are jealous so they throw the babies in the river and tell the king that his queen gave birth to animals. Finally, the king is so enraged he locks her in a tower.

· A fisherman finds each of the babies and raises the kids as his own.

· The two boys go off to look for their real parents, but are rude to an old woman, who doesn't help them. Meanwhile, the girl goes to look for her brothers and is kind to the old woman, who gives her advice about fetching a magical bird and magical water.

· The bird reveals to the king who his children are and helps heal their imprisoned mother, while her sisters are killed for their treachery.

· Yes, we know that only one bird played a significant role but the title has three; each time a kid was thrown in the river, a little bird comes to sing a prophecy about the wicked sisters dying, which we think is where the title comes from.

Being Dutch, geocaching in Nederland Colorado is special.
Decided to try this trail on a cold November afternoon.
Found most caches and skipped a few because of too much snow on the ground.
Enjoyed the hunt very much.
Thanks for hiding.
