As he knelt down he saw his reflection in the pool and it was all but unrecognizable; he saw the face which had been his as a young man. Joyously, he realized he had drunk from the fountain of youth. Running in a manner of which he had not been capable for many years, returned home to his wife. After some dificulty, he persuaded her that he who spoke with voice she knew well and whose features, for all their youthfulness, were familiar. Was indeed her husband.
Reasonably she said she, too, must drink of the same water: he would soon tire of a wife so many years older than he had become.
