   Hi, All!   
      
      
   In Russian folklore we have a beast with three heads. In England there are   
   probably ones which have head and three bodies:   
      
   Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K. Jerome   
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   The day has been so full of fret and care, and our hearts have been so   
   full of evil and of bitter thoughts, and the world has seemed so hard   
   and wrong to us. Then Night, like some great loving mother, gently lays   
   her hand upon our fevered head, and turns our little tear-stained faces   
   up to hers, and smiles; and, though she does not speak, we know what she   
   would say, and lay our hot flushed cheek against her bosom, and the pain   
   is gone.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   ...our hearts have been so full of evil and of bitter thoughts   
   ...Then Night, like some great loving mother, gently lays her hand upon our   
   fevered head   
   ...and lay our hot flushed cheek against her bosom

   Bye, All!
