On a quiet morning in late autumn, the sun cast a golden hue over the rolling fields of John Thompson’s farm, nestled in the heart of the English countryside. John, a sprightly 78-year-old farmer, was making his usual rounds, checking on his livestock and the crops that had sustained his family for generations. As he moved through the dew-kissed grass, something unusual caught his eye near the old oak tree that stood sentinel at the edge of his property.
Curious, John approached the tree with the cautious steps of a man who had spent decades tending to the land and its mysteries. There, to his astonishment, lay three tiny bundles swaddled in worn blankets. His heart skipped a beat as he leaned down, pushing aside the fears that flooded his mind. Gently, he peeled back the layers of fabric to reveal three tiny, sleeping infants, their breaths soft and rhythmic in the crisp morning air.
