Silver Spring

"I'm going to the silver-spring in the Beech-wood, to get a drop of water for my little wife Hen-alie, who has got a bean in her throat," says Cock-alu. ❋ Various (1897)

"I'm going to the silver-spring in the Beech-wood, to fetch a drop of water for my wife, Hen-alie, who has got a bean in her throat," says ❋ Various (1897)

But when he came back without a single drop, and only offered the fine silk stockings and blue velvet garters instead, she set off, without saying a word, as fast as her long legs would carry her out of the wood and down to the silver-spring, which she reached in a wonderfully short time. ❋ Various (1897)

"I'm going to the silver-spring in the Beech-wood, to fetch a drop of water for my wife, Hen-alie, who has got a bean in her throat." ❋ Various (1897)

On she went, thinking of nothing but that which she had to do; and reaching the silver-spring, she gathered up twelve drops of water, and, hurrying back again, came into the yard just as poor Hen-alie was saying: "Oh, that somebody had loved me well enough to fetch me only one drop of silver-spring water!" ❋ Various (1897)

After that he marched on, and before long reached the Beech-wood, but as the silver-spring lay yet a good way off, he had not gone far in the wood before he met the squirrel. ❋ Various (1897)

And so saying, he walked on through the Beech-wood, and as he met no more creatures he soon reached the silver-spring. ❋ Various (1897)

Don't stop by the way, for the bull is coming down to the silver-spring to drink, and he'll trouble the water. ❋ Various (1897)

"I'm going to the silver-spring in the Beech-wood," replied Cock-alu, ❋ Various (1897)

"I could not bring you water, for the silver-spring is dry," said ❋ Various (1897)

All the time, however, that Cock-alu was out on his fruitless errand, she had been comforting Hen-alie in the best way she could, and assuring her that Cock-alu would soon be back again with the water from the silver-spring. ❋ Various (1897)

Fortunately the silver-spring had flowed into its new channel as clearly as ever, and the evening dew had dropped its virtues into it. ❋ Various (1897)

Oh, that somebody only loved me well enough to have brought me one drop of silver-spring water! " ❋ Various (1897)

"Oh, Cock-alu, do run and fetch me the water from the silver-spring, or ❋ Various (1897)

I want to beg a drop of water from the silver-spring for my wife Hen-alie, who has got a bean in her throat! " ❋ Various (1897)

"Early do you call it, Cock-alu?" says the squirrel; "why, I've been up these four hours; I just stopped to give the young ones their breakfasts, and then set off to silver-spring for a drop of water while the dew was in it; I've got it here in a cherry-leaf. ❋ Various (1897)

"Oh, Cock-alu," said she, calling to him in the yard, where he stood clapping his wings in the sunshine, "run and fetch me a drop of water from the silver-spring in the Beech-wood! ❋ Various (1897)
