Hi All,
A patron is looking for a folk or fairy tale she read about 3 years ago.
The plot involves 3 farm families who are neighbours to each other. All
the families share chores and the stream which runs by each of their
houses. All the children play together and everything is in harmony. One
day Authority rides into the farming community on horseback and orders
fences be built between the farms. The children can no longer play
together and each of the farms become part of three different countries.
Patron thinks the story is from Central or South America.
Any takers?
Thanks for your help!
