Transcription of blackboard: The First FountainOnce there was a little girl who loved to play in the water. One day she came to a little stream. She jumped up and down in it. At last she heard a voice from the grounds. She tried to run away but her feet were held fast. Her hair became streams of water. A fairy had turned her into a fountain. -- source link
