Nineteen gutter stone, in front buckets, that courtyard of an inn, three drains that balbolyat and pours cold water and Crystal-clear water. And around is a sad plain, dry ground and cracked, heat and hot weather, as in the desert. And herds come, people go to Fountain and their eyes burn from clogging and hot weather. On one side and on the other of Fountain’s road white and anyone who goes here, goes, or returns to, stops at the Fountain to drink. And maybe sometimes somebody will say, but each soul is gratitude and praise to the one who made the fountain and whose mouth forever whisper the names the three streams “.
