Grimms’ Fairy Tales 052 – THE WATER OF LIFE – 001

Long before you or I were born, there reigned, in a country a great way off, a king who had three sons.
This king once fell very ill—so ill that nobody thought he could live.
His sons were very much grieved at their father’s sickness; and as they were walking together very mournfully in the garden of the palace, a little old man met them and asked what was the matter.
They told him that their father was very ill, and that they were afraid nothing could save him
