The Fountain of Youth (fairy tale)

The Fountain of Youth is a Japanese fairy tale collected by Lafcadio Hearn in Japanese Fairy Tales.[1]

Synopsis

An old couple lived in the mountains. The man cut wood, and the woman wove, every day. One day, the man found a spring and drank from it. He became a young man. Delighted, he ran home. His wife said a young man needed a young wife, so she would go and drink, but they should not both be away, so he should wait. He did wait, but when she did not come back, he went after her. He found a baby by the spring; his wife had drunk too eagerly. Saddened, he carried her back.

gollark: I ran into some issues and now I'm seriously thinking about rewriting the potatOS sandboxing stuff.
gollark: I guess it doesn't matter much for my security model as it's only verifying signatures, but hmm.
gollark: Hmm, the existing ECC stuff which exists *isn't* constant-time? I suppose it does seem to have a decent amount of conditionals in it.
gollark: Which is entirely overkill as nothing actually generates keypairs or needs secure randomness at runtime.
gollark: The thing shipped with potatOS uses events, timing *and* memory addresses.
