Her wish to become younger was too strong

This is a story about an old man and an old woman. They lived near the fine green woods. One summer day the old man went to the woods to pick mushrooms. It was a hot day and the old man soon got tired and thirsty, but there was no water in the woods. So he sat down under the tree to rest. Everything around him was so fresh and fine, but he was so old and sad. He wanted to return the days when he was young and fine. Suddenly he saw a little spring near him. He was very glad and he was very thirsty. He began to drink the water. Soon he felt that he became younger and in a few minutes he was a fine young man again.

He ran home to tell his wife about the spring. When his wife heard the story, she ran to the woods quickly, though she was very old.
