[LM_NET] TARGET> ES and anyone with a knowledge of folk/fairy tales

[Barbara Jones <BJones@ISK.AC.KE>]

An English teacher is wondering whether a story has been plagiarized. 
Does anyone know of a story that sounds anything like this: A prince grows
a tail which the family tries to keep secret.  The tailor to whom the
secret has been revealed is advised by a wise man to bury the secret. 
After doing so, reeds sprout from the spot. When a whistle is made from
the reeds, it sings the words of the secret.  
Thank you, wise and wonderful group, for contemplating this one!
