No entanto, com o passar do tempo, começaram a ficar doentes. As ervas e os remédios disponíveis não conseguiam curá-las.

Once in a certain place there was an enormous well that supplied the region pure and limpid water. The water came from a fresh and a healthy fountain, and the local people believed that inside it there was a generous genius that took care of that well. People used to live happily and with health. Nonetheless, as time went by, they began to get sick. The herbs and medicine available would not cure them. Wise men and doctors were called and found out that people were getting sick because the water was infected. At last another well was built.
This book is part of the Project Ways of Changing the World, based on the 8 Millennium Development Goals proposed by the United Nations. The sixth Goal, “Combat HIV/Aids, malaria and other diseases”, motivated The genius of the enchanted well.
