The caption for this illustration reads: Many came to the well to bathe. This Serbian myth is about Healing Water. The tale is about two borthers, one righteous and one unrighteous. The former took the kingdom upon the king;s death and then through wagers took all from the brother. The righteous brother even lost his eyes, but seeing people come to a well and bathe, he did so and regained his sight, cured a princess of leprosy with the waters and gained half a kingdom. The illustration is from a 1921 book on Serbian myths and legends.
