This sounds like a variation of "The Three Sillies" which always involve three silly people who do "silly things"--- sometimes known as "Jack and the Three Sillies"--- but usually with a traveler and a task involved. Here are links to some of the stories: http://www.authorama.com/english-fairy-tales-4.html http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/eft/eft03.htm http://www.ferrum.edu/applit/bibs/tales/sillies.htm Shonda Brisco, MLIS Trinity Valley MS / US Librarian Trinity Valley School Fort Worth, TX 76132 817-321-0100 ext. 410 briscos@trinityvalleyschool.org "Those who have the highest expectations for the web in terms of student research, are those who work with it, and students, the least." -- LM_NET librarian ________________________________ From: School Library Media & Network Communications on behalf of Aimee Allison Sent: Mon 3/7/2005 9:59 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: [LM_NET] A Folk Tale Hello everyone, I have a student looking for a folk tale that I am unfamiliar with. Have any of you heard of it? She said she did something with this in elementary school. She summarized it like this: There was a man who had a very silly daughter. She was always crying because she was afraid that the axe hanging above the stairs would kill her daughter, but she didn't even have a daughter. This man wanted to find 3 things sillier than his daughter, and whoever was sillier than her could marry her. One of the silly things was guys fishing for the moon (its reflection) in the water. Any ideas? Aimee Allison aallison@cusd220.org Aimee Allison Library/Media Specialist Barrington High School 616 W.
