Thanks Jota! But I doubt Adam will be thrilled. He isn't particularly happy with me these days, because of a Forum discussion I started.

FWIW, this is a very old, traditional folktale which I used to tell my children, back when I was homeschooling them. It was one of their favorites. The pastor at our church told us a version of it last Sunday, which got me thinking that it would make a good series.

I'm so happy to see another series by you! It gives me lots of pleasant time passed. Thank you; I'm looking forward to the next one.

Jota was right, as always. :-)

Very nice! I don't usually like to do larger puzzles because of all the scrolling and eye strain... But I was intrigued by the title, and of course I knew the quality of your puzzles would make it well worthwhile - and it certainly was!! Now I've got to find time to solve the rest of the series because I'm curious! (But it's finals week...What a dilemma - study, or PBN???)
#8: Meg Tayler (rebelcat) on Apr 24, 2009
Study... and then use PBN as a fifteen minute break every hour or so. That's what I do! My brain works better when I'm not focusing just on thing for a long time.

Also, I've started using the arrow keys to move the clues from the top to the bottom of the puzzle a lot - or from side to side. It really saves on scrolling.

Good luck with your studies!

I was surprised when I printed it out, that I could still see the numbers, can't wait for the next one. thank you

It's good to see you back making comments, Nancy!

Meg, this puzzle was a joy to solve. It took me forever, but I enjoyed every pixel. I look forward the the rest. Thanks for entertaining us.

Breathtakingly beautiful detail. I found this randomly, but I want to solve the whole series now.

As others have said, Beautiful! I look forward to the others in this series, and I'll be looking for your other series, too.
And somehow, after LOTS of these, I didn't know about the arrow key thing. Thanks!
